Based off the second half performance the Lions deserved what they got. Couldn't catch a high ball and got bullied in the scrum. Huge questions about the first half. Kolbe should have certainly got red and De Klerk looked as though he could have gone for clotheslining Murray!

I think the Saffas are getting fitter by the day, it"s going to be interesting next week but on todays showing, they might take some stopping.

Perhaps they had the rub of the green in terms of decisions, but I thought the ref did a good job of keeping things contained. We shouldn't have changed a winning side. Having Daley on the pitch would have given a bit more protection to the chip and chase.

A bit like winning the play offs, much better than going straight up in second place, something to look forward to next weekend!

Hogg cost us heavily with his poor catching and the erratic stop, start play caused by too much reliance on the TMO were two critical factors in the result. We appeared to lose our way in the second half. Bring on a few more of the Welsh boys next week like Liam Williams, Wynn Jones and Rees-Zammit. That'll stir them up a bit. Will be a tough one next Saturday especially if Erasmus continues with his farcical water boy routine. The refs should keep him inside his technical area.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

We really got bullied there and frankly the officiating ruined the first half, and quite a bit of the whole game. There was foul play by both sides that was obvious and replayed but totally wrongly interpreted. Dubious try, dubious scrum decisions, dubious knock ons. But, ultimately, South Africa well deserved the win. If allowed to bully they will, match fire with fire and pick the biggest guys up front and center next week, plus guys who can catch in the backs. I suspect Daly full back, Watson wing but Van De Meurve has to go. His kick out should have been a red in my opinion, and he was absolutely awful the whole match. At least Hogg gave as much as he could, just caught out in the air too many times.

Terrible decision to start with Owens at hooker. He's an average hooker at best. George a far better option for a big game.
