OK ,I know it's another thread but the good Guv will delete if it offends in some way.
I like Lions tours.It sees the Welsh playing alongside the posh/privileged public school boys of England and the scions of Scottish borders farmers and the Irish boys too big for Hurling.
Now we see the Blacks and Coloured playing for Bokke rather than parking their cars or watering their lawns,they have a significant pool of talent.It's nuts really Apartheid saw these dumb jerks marginalise and brutalise the majority and only allow them to find coal for the Braai instead of sharing food and drink with them even at the same table .
Tomorrow sees another black Bokke captain in the magnificent Am. Terreblanche mut be turning in his grave or wwizzing around in that dust bowl in the Free State skies.
Any SA tour is brutal.I mean ,although we left them the game after kicking them out of the Cape,we left them rugby.Pretty magnaminous of us really.Tomorrow will be scary,trust me.Anti eggers or effete footballers,stick to synchronised swimming in the Olympics.
I predict Hogg will have a torrid time but I agree Sanjay shouldn't have played,if only to protect Waunarlydd' s bravest warrior if only from himself after being concussed last time out. Bokke aren't exactly forgiving folk-they haven't forgiven us for the concentration camps for the Boers we invented-and they would have targetted anjay's head from the kick off. Good luck Hogg.
It' s all about forwards though as anyone who has played the game will testify and tomorrow will see the Lions front up and they will. It might well not be enough though and I feel AWJ election is plain wrong. Eben ,Franco and the blond butcher Pieter Steph will be targetting his shoulder. They will be looking to snap it,make no mistake here.
Gatland has gone for size and power but I 'm not sure it'll work. We ''ll ee.
If the backs get the ball,Biggar will,no doubt,kick it half way up Table Mountain but if he gets it wrong,Cheslin Kolbe will be waiting to run at him and the others and simply take the pyss. This boy is beyond exciting. Ive not seen such talent since Lomu albeit in another guise..
The centre pairing is a weakness. IMO. Daly untried isn't smart and Henshaw is not 100% fit.He will need to be against De Allende and Am. Two great exponents of the position.
I only see Willy at full back as a real weakness.Past his best by some time althoigh still a class act.
Finally,I reflect on the days when in the sixties a Bokke team was literally and deservedly seen as poison and rightly so albeit one country we played . Imagine an international team due to play a regional team then and hour before kick off having it moved to another ground as demonstrators were suspected of having spread tacks all over the pitch. This game was transferred to New Brighton RFC . Days when black lads picked the oranges the players scoffed at half time but weren't allowed to play the in the same game.

Tidy analysis. Most probably washed over the heads of many.
One heck of a test coming up.
I can see Liam being deployed sooner than later after heavy, catastrophic bombardment.
Henshaw/Daly ain't no Roberts/Foxy, doesn't inspire in the same way.

I try to invoke a little perpective and honesty but ,as you ay,it aint for many who omply prefer to either chivvy up to their forum friend or simply post to pose or maybe simply insult in the most oblique way.
However,yeah, this game is something I am really looking forward to it.
I am genuinely concerned for AWJas I really do not think he should even be there. You cannot dislocate a shoulder then 3 weeks later expect to be battered by an animal lie Etzebeth and get away with it. I hope I am wrong as I love AWJ to bits but sometimes players have to be protected from themselves.
Du Toit and Mostert will be ready,make no mistake any Bokke team will be ready for a Test match. They will have been tw'tting each other in training a preparation .
I'm not hopeful and predict a final score of 35-17. I can see Pollard kicking endless penalties given away by Itoje and the TMO id a farking Saffie. | |

Love the guy.
Future England captain?
He should be now
As regards his ethnicity,I cannot think of an better role model.
He is also a slap in the face for any racist who believes black people are somehow still under the white man. I make apologies for saying that becaue the essence of racosm is seeing ones race a superior to another.
Looking around here,I see little in the way of white supremacy. | |

Itoje Lions standout. Centres are shocking. Three penalties and some poor defence. Both the Curry and Daly penalties typical of poor discipline that has cost England of late. | | | |

I can see The Sheriff starting next week and Wyn Jones, if fit. Sutherland was the weakest player in the pack and not sure if Cowan-Dickie showed enough with some poor line outs. itoje and Lawes were outstanding but Furlong, Conan , AWJ and later on Vuinopola and Sinckler put in some real graft. Not sure if there is much that can be changed in the back line. Chris Harris is an option at centre and Josh Adams perhaps. Hogg and Williams is a toss up. As are Price and Murray. | | | |

Him and Lawes were awesome cracking games, in a great game, I had us to lose by 15pts minimum and I'm chuffed I was proved wrong. |  |

SA weren’t up to much, made their own luck for the chances they had. Don’t think they’ve got much else to offer whereas the lions have. Should be a 3-0 series. | | | |

First half I thought the lions were poor in all areas bar maybe certain areas of the pack. Second half dogged and at times fortunate tactics won the game but the boks will be furious with the referee and TMO. If they run at the lions next week it could be a landslide. | |

That 2nd half one the game, the Safies could have been out of sight in that first, but just couldn't execute the moves, Ref made decisions that strangely went the Lions way on times, although he started the game penalising the Lions, that a few were hard to fathom. | |
