| British Lions v South Africa A : Matchday Thread 23:46 - Jul 13 with 898 views | KeithHaynes |
The fourth match of the British & Irish Lions tour in South Africa against a Springboks 'A' side at Cape Town Stadium, Cape Town. This will be the toughest game so far by a very long way, don’t expect a landslide.
It is the fourth of five warm-up games in South Africa before the three-Test series against the Springboks - and the second midweek fixture - and has extra importance for head coach Warren Gatland given that the SA tour has been shortened by two games from the one in New Zealand in 2017.

What TV channel is it on?

And Erasmus desperate for there to be a repeat this Saturday so desperate are the Bokke for practice.
They reckon Georgia brought them the virus when they player on July 2nd.
Tough or what.
Just wish AWJ is tempted to get smashed so early after that injury |  |

Josh Adams missing then, he's watching his partner give birth via Zoom apparently. Their first child. Good luck Josh!
Biggar injured too. I just don't like Farrell, arrogant chu....it's not because he's Englsih, honest. | |

Lions on the wrong end of it so far. Someone else I don't like, that Faf DeKlerk, because he's good. He's a busy little sod and a proper pain in the butt. | |

Sam W as right, massive mistake not taking a scrum then... 2 in the bin, on their line, 1 min before HT and they tap and go | |

Commentator talking up Steyn's kicking and right on cue, he misses!
The defence these Boks are putting up is quite awesome. Mind you, they have also done some pretty fine, should I call it cheating? Blocking runs, taking their time getting out of rucks, DeKlerks shoulder charge (as Nigel Owens saw it) they are good at the rugby dark arts. | |

Bollox, good game management by the Safies, Curry outstanding for Lions and Beard when he came on Itoje got better as game went on, particularly after Beard came on, South Africa were like Rottweilers in loose and at the rucks, De Klerk is a nuisance and probably lucky to stay on after slamming into Navidi's face with his head, he knew what he was doing.
My bollox comment was regarding us losing not your post Cat, just read it back and realised Ooops ah daisy. [Post edited 14 Jul 2021 21:10]

You're OK, I read it 3 times and decided, sod you then, I'm not buying you that pint 
No, I knew what you meant and when they hacked the ball into touch I said that too! | |

It's downtime for the egg haters anyway.
Think the Lions,if Bokke are fit enough,could be in deep doodoo.
Nobody should underestimate their machismo | |

Like Rottweilers in that first half De Klerk is a pest, would have loved to have seen him and Mike Phillips squaring off, pity Mike's days have come and gone, he was a one off I think. [Post edited 15 Jul 2021 16:23]

Gorgeous George -that was Mike.Not as hard as he thought though.
De Klerk is a tough little farker but according to my sources at ale,quite a decent chap off the pitch.
A terrific player;if he wasnt ,we wouldnt be talking about him | |
