Agree. The ref used discretion. (Whether he was influenced or not). Which is what I prefer to see. However, 9/10 times that would have been a red card, so the Lions have reason for a good cry. As far as I was concerned, Hamish Watson should have been sent off for a tip tackle in the first test...

I like your enthusiasm. But. Here is the problem: The following players were in 10 day isolation after testing positive. Marx Mbonambi Kolisi Dan du Preez (was a genuine option at 8 and if he had played performed in the SA A game I reckon he was in the test side) De Jager Pollard...

Listen to the man

Good man.

Yes. It got in via support staff or apparently outside chance that DeJager got it when he went to a clinic for a jab . Food. Cleaning etc etc. Lots of people. Hard to control. Covid in Johburg is going off.

Congratulations. Balls. Big ones.

So it's not worth trying to keep it going in a bubble? Why not?

Pollard is stodgy? Ok then. I would only pick Barret or Mounga ahead if him in a World 15. Steyn is very one dimensional. But it is a very consistent dimension and he was played for a reason. We were always going to take zero risk on this game and use it as a defensive hit-out. Mission...

De Jager not right away no but being in the squad suggests that he will feature at some point.

8 of the 15 started the RWC Final 13 of the 23 were in the RWC final squad I would call it an SA A+ squad Missing: Kolisi Malherbe Pollard F Steyn De Jager Vermeulen Mapimpi All except Steyn are certain starters if fit and available.

Happy with that Our guys need to play.

...and left handed

Ps the way that the virus got into the Bok camp is thought to be a result of Lood de Jager's visit to a vaccination clinic to get a shot. Not sure to laugh or cry. o_O

So Boks had to call reinforcements to be able to field an SA A team. A few more cases and I think this whole thing is toast.

Bosch never cummed I mean came, no. Most the Sharks pack is military medium at best except Buthelezi at 8 who is a real prospect. They are out of their depth, sadly. Please let them play Vunipola against the Boks again. It will be liked 20129 all over again. The second cumming, sorry, coming.

Not really. This is the pointy end of what was already happening before those decisions.

What else do you propose they do? Just give up? The ultimate goal is the test matches. Should they not at least try everything in their power to make that happen? It's easy to sit here fro ma distance and bag everything but at least there is a real effort to make Lions tests happen. I am...

Bulls getting thrashed in Italy and Lions killing the Sa Lions and Sharks. SA's talent pool is razor thin. Too many good players have left and they are laving younger and younger. However, to me this Sharks outfit looks really poorly coached. I would be surprised if any more games are played...

They are in a bubble. They have been testing daily. Somehow it got in. There is no failsafe way. We saw that with the NBA bubble.

I wonder if they can delay any of the test matches? Perhaps easier with no fans?
