South Africa vs British and Irish Lions - Test 2

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly prob need Hamlisch Watson on the bench brings energy, which is lacking

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Stupid stupid penalty by Sutherland. Joke

 

[HenryChinaski]

Brain-dead by sutherland

So so bad

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

So many utterly stupid penalties...

 

[BPM]

Just looking clueless and lacking in composure right now. Discipline seems to have gone out of the window too.

 

[anderton46]

Smells of desperation already all these stupid penalties.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Has there ever been such a huge momentum shift in 20 minutes of a series? The lions have completely fallen apart

 

[BPM]

So so bad

Hang-on - did you just criticise a Scotsman for making a mistake? Not sure that’s allowed.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

You're forgetting ball was in hand then came out, the key is the grounding coming from arm after the ball was hand. Its not like someone kicking then grounding with forearm.

So? It’s only a knock on if the ball hits the ground or another player before you touch it again. If you get your forearm on it again you can still get pressure on the ball.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

No game plan but it’s not the refs three errors that’s lost us this game is our game plan.

Gonna have to check o’keefe’s post history

 

[anderton46]

OMG Watson and Hogg together must have about 1 catch between about 20 attempts.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

The Scottish players in this game have been pants.

 

[Wasps92]

Professional rugby players consistently unable to catch the ball…

To get pressure on the ball it has to hit the ground... knock on.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Watson has been terrible. Really atrociously bad. In fact I can't recall this bad a performance across a whole back 3 at international level

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lions bench has been terrible

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Daly’s been leading training in the week.

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Williams and Adams in for Hogg and Watson. Surely that's an obvious change

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

So we decide to pass the ball more than twice when there's 9 minutes left? So so frustrating

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Williams and Adams in for Hogg and Watson. Surely that's an obvious change

And price for Murray

 

[Bada-Bing!]

It was always going to a third test decider.

 

[anderton46]

Williams and Adams in for Hogg and Watson. Surely that's an obvious change

You'd hope, but then again VDM has also been poor.

But Gats is notoriously stubborn so probably no changes.

 

[BPM]

It’s not as though van der Merwe has been any good either though.

The whole back three have been poor.

 

[Wasps92]

Anthony Watson just **** off.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Here's an idea Conor - how about you help out at the breakdown if there's no other option and we're going to concede a penalty, rather then pointing at the ruck like an idiot

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tbh not doing much is better than actively making mistakes

 

[BPM]

Ali surely?

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Anthony Watson just **** off.

Remember it’s always Hoggs fault, not Watson’s. That’s the forum rules.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Pollard knocked that on
