  1. The Lions found a 15 capable of beating the Boks,­ unfortunately it was found too late. But 15 was all­ they had. As soon as the injuries took a toll the­ weakness of the bench was glaring. They must be given­ massive praise for a first half that had the Boks­ reeling. Yes, Burger should have been sent off but­ where's the glory in beating 14 Sprinboks? The tour­ party should have been 41 not 38. 41 places were­ available why not use them? Any tour of SA is going to­ be a matter of attrition as Geech should know well.­ After saying all that, the first two tests contained­ probably the best top level rugby seen in years. Only­ spoiled by Mr Lawrence's incompetence in game 1.­ These Lions have not disgraced themselves in South­ Africa and they deserve great respect from all­ quarters. Well done lads.

  5. Fair comment but I believe the management team should­ hold there hands up as well . O Gara shouldnt have been­ on the bench Hook should have been & Wallace­ shouldnt have been brought off for Williams Shaw should­ have been & Croft moved into the 2nd row , Shaw had­ played his heart out but was spent in the last 15 , we­ could go on & on

  7. o'gara should be gutted and then hung out to dry.­ any match fee he gets should be taken away for throwing­ away a test series.
