Jeremy Ward “this close” to punching Bosch on the back of the head.

Yes. He's the one I said can't scrum.
But was amazing at everything else?
Yes, that's been the story of his long and illustrious career.

Edit: you're probably not aware that he's been playing 2nd division rugby this season and his callups for both England and the Lions were hugely debated
Yeah.
Saracen and cheating with salaries if I am correct.

To be honest though, he looks fat and disinterested.

There could be a younger player more committed player who deserves and wants to be there.

For so long we have been told that the $harks set their standard by playing the New Zealand teams.
This team should be happy that they are not playing against the Blues or Crusaders

Sutherland has been pretty good in his cameo.

These wingers are giving Gatland a selection headache.

Rather different now it's Furlong, Owens and Sutherland.

Yes, by the same token Sutherland has played about 80min of rugby since March and isnt fully firing yet so the signs of him improving week on week are encouraging. He is still easing his way back in. My view isn't determined by tonight's performances but they reinforced what I thought. Furlong and Sutherland were my preferred selection since the squad was announced.

Edit: I expect the Lions to use the scrum to get the ball in play rather than any idea of milking penalties. The Two mentioned are best set to do that without getting pinged themselves.

In the 2 games I have been very impressed with the Lions intensity. I hope Nienaber is getting his team fit. Judging by our extended local competition we are nowhere near that pace. Although it looked like they were tiring in last 20. But the game was well and truly won by then. Can't fault the backs. Brilliant skills and pace. Would have been interesting to see Mapimpi, Nkosi and Fassi in the Sharks team. Would have been a better match. But the Sharks boys lived a dream of having played against the BILs and that's what the tour is about
