That fullback!!! impresive!!! where can we get one of­ those?

Can both side enjoy the series, there are to many­ people tht have to spoil the game by slagging each­ other off. Grow up and try to chill out. I bet you are­ the sort of people that moan whoever you play, if thats­ the case you need to sort youself out.
Well done the­ Lions on the brillient win, great play with class and­ speed. The whole series has been great fun to watch,­ and i look forward to the next one.
Well done SA with­ the 2-1 win.

Some discussion here of the Welsh contribution. It was­ the BRITISH Lions. Croft scored 2 tries. Made by­ O'Driscoll. Kearney scored. Flutey and Heaslip­ made Williams'. Jones missed some kicks. All the­ Lions played well today. Good to see Vickery and Monye­ reverse their Ist test errors. Some question marks­ over selection at times. Why omit them from the 22 for­ the second test. Why wasn't Hook on the bench­ then? Why didn't they bring him on in the final­ minute of the 3rd test? He was the only sub who­ didn't get on in the tournament overall. Why bring­ on Ellis? Earls was the only member of the original­ squad who didn't figure in any 22 match day squad. ­ Why was Croft dropped?

As a 'brand' the Lions­ have some issues. 3 problems - Once again they were­ unlucky. Their captain died in a boating accident in­ the very first tourand they seem to have been dogged by­ bad luck ever since!. In the era of professionalism it­ is a bit like sending out the Barbarians against a­ settled team. And to their credit they were the more­ adventurous team by far - some times too much so. ­ Thirdly they are on a hiding to nothing - they­ can't restore their pride for another 4 years. ­ Hines will never represent them again. Burger and­ Botha will be back in harness against NZ and the­ Aussies in a week or 2. The Lions can't do that. ­ Another squas will be assembled in 4 year's time­ with high hopes. Mind you with Shaw's contribution­ any of the 2009 vintage might still be in the­ frame!

Pretty pathetic comments, both for the Lions and the­ Boks, both sides played some superb rugby during the­ series and some was below the belt, but show me a side­ today that doesn't cheat(Including England). The­ result was a fair reflection of the great series, but­ the commentaries from so called rugby writers was­ appalingly poor. I wonder how many really have played­ this game? I am sorry that Schalk cost the Boks 13­ points and should have been red carded, but so should­ others as well ( including some of the lions). But in­ all a wonderful spectacle of modern rugby, full of­ drama and guts.
Well done to all of you, Lions and­ Boks.

Well done to the Lions today. Well done to SA for­ winning the test series. Both teams can be proud of­ there efforts over the 3 games and today's match­ was a highlight, in that what was said off-field during­ the week didn't turn the match into a dirty affair.­ Let's hope they can all have a dinner in one of V­ Matfield's restaurants tonight and drink a few­ beers together.

pf100, i think you just about summed it up there!

Well­ done the Lions, ye did us proud out there!

OH YES!!!! ONE MORE THING!!! THANK YOU SCHALK­ BURGER(AND OTHER RUGGER THUGGER BUGGERS)...YOU­ IDIOTS!!!!!! FOR ALMOST RUINING LUKE FITZGERALDS­ EYESIGHT, NEGATING THE BOK SERIES WIN,BRINGING THE GAME­ INTO SUCH DISRIPUTE,BEING A BAD SPORTSPERSON AND­ COMPROMISING YOUR OWN AS WELL AS THE TEAMS TRI-NATIONS­ HOPE.
NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE WISHING SA THE WORST.
MAYBE­ IT IS TIME THE IRB SEVERELY ENFORECED ITS OWN RULES

Some of the comments do not reflect what the sport of­ rugby is all about.
So the BOKS played a bit­ rough.Since when the English are sportsmanhsip­ exemplars.
Come on drop the mean spirited @#$%.

fair enough JohnB.I can understand the Thug issues and­ disapoinment and the wan***ism for wearing the­ armbands.As long as we are objective about the­ truth.
If the Lions didnt suffer a few crucial injuries­ before the tour began that might have also made a­ difference.Never mind ref,eye gouging etc.
I have to­ admit, series win or no series win.The Lions by far­ played the best rugby and ran in the best tries.I­ expected a bit more from the Bok 3/4
As a bok fan I­ would rather loose the series than win in disgrace.My­ Points were just about people forgeting issues in­ general.
So Hopefully not all SA supporters are bad­ loosers and nasty.
All the best to you all for the six­ nations.......

Finally, a decent performance by the referee and look­ what happened. Congrats to Phil Vickery who learned a­ lot and came back stronger. A seamless change for­ Phillips from scrum half to centre. Quick ball from a­ solid scrum and loose gave the Boks little time to get­ organised. SA looked very ordinary in all departments.­ Even their attempts at illegal scrummaging were poor!­ But what a great Tour. Just the thing to wipe out the­ memory of Woodwards embarrassing circus in NZ.

well done shane

pfi100: World cup a different time and place. SA­ thrashed England and fairly, I have never said any­ different. We are discussing what's happened in­ your back yard today and over the last two tests. SA­ were taught a lesson today. You saw your team­ disintegrate under lions pressure. Your forwards made­ to look second rate and your backs couldn't string­ it together because of the immense defence by the­ scratch Lions backs. SA ended up not being a team but­ a bunch of individuals on the pitch, each man trying to­ win the game by himself (a 65 yard drop goal attempt­ when you are 20 odd points down says it all!).

Its­ always nice to get the last word.

Don key, you're a w a n k stain......a real sad­ @#$%, I'm laughing at you because you are really­ wound up about this....you miss the point of this great­ game.....that it's about friendship, camaraderie,­ grace and modesty, something which you know nothing­ about......if the SA players heard what you were saying­ they give you a slap and disown you. I think SA are a­ great Rugby Nation but you represent everything which­ is disgusting about it.......have a few beers matey and­ mellow out.

How can I be a sore looser donkey when we just wipped­ your @#$%. And when you call someone a big girls blouse­ it means your a big cry baby poofter which i think­ means you donkey. Now be carefull you dont get car­ jacked tonight. Now you better go because i think­ someone might be breaking intoyour house

The Lions produced a superb performance to defeat South­ Africa 28-9 in the third and final Test at Ellis Park­ in Johannesburg It's just a shame the Boks fans­ cant handle defeat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

headline should read:

Boks beaten by Lions B team­ because they could not cheat or take players out.

Just­ think of the hammering the Lions A team would have­ given them if the BOKs had played fair like today:

So Nelson was a Pirate was he donkey.I think you mean­ Francies Drake you moron. If it wasnt for Nelson SA­ probably would of ended up under the French at some­ point. Ive been to SA and its sad that every house as­ to have bob wire around it and you have to carry a gun­ as self sefence. You even have to show your receipt­ when leaving a shoping mall tothe armed guards to prove­ you aint nicked it. Its pretty bad when the top prize­ on a radio station compition is to have your houses­ security re vamped. Your country is heading like­ Zimbabwe my friend. ha ha ha

Is Donkey really an old NAG ??

Lions are champs ---boks are chumps Only thing thats­ proved today is that the Boks can't win without­ cheating: Lets watch them get their arses kicked during­ the tri nations:

Willie John had the right idea with­ the 99 call --- its the only language the Boks­ understand:

Just watch the BOKs totally F**k up the­ footie World Cup: Imagine a whole nation without any­ sense of sportsmanship: Don't let them play­ internationals in the future:
