Bosch sticking his hand up for Lions 10 against the Bokke.

And playing like a lump of shit in a washing machine

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

Ali Price firing the ball into Tom Curry's ribs to improve Mish's chances of the test spot.

Try Venter

26-7
51 mins

Lots of ankle tapping hey
Is that their grand plan to deal with our speedsters

Is that a quote from the Walrus' match report?

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.

I like Hendrikse. Having a great game

Henrikse again. Clown.

Hendrickse is definitely a cock
His brother not it seems

Better than Shithamba.

BILs look like they are tiring

Lekker Bosch.

He’s not all that. He might be one day but not at the moment

Russell a clear step up from Farrell.

Oh dear

Louw, Ward, Venter and Buthalese good. The rest are garbage.

Lions frontrow has struggled against some kids/journeymen. Have lots to fear from the Boks

Good try Zamitt.

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

Give the BILs credit. They are a very very good side

Why do Bosch kick? Cost them another try.

They all kick away possession. Dumb rugby.

Marius Louw maybe a stupid player. But he don't kick

Holding back, sneaky bastards

Word.

Henrikse is slower than The Dark Ages.

Sharks dumb and tired. Lions just tired.

Spoiler alert
Its not coming home

If Kok got yellow, then Aki should get one too!!

1-1

Outstanding BILs very impressive outing.
Proud of the young Sharks.

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.

Furlong and Sutherland are a big step up in the scrum

That's the test line up for me.

Just remember our starting props are with the Boks.

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
