Anyone else following the series. Second test today the Lions need to win to draw level in the series with one test to go.



Team to start: R Kearney (Leinster and Ireland); T Bowe (Ospreys and Ireland), B O'Driscoll (Leinster and Ireland), J Roberts (Cardiff Blues and Wales), L Fitzgerald (Leinster and Ireland); S Jones (Scarlets and Wales), M Phillips (Ospreys and Wales); G Jenkins (Cardiff Blues and Wales), M Rees (Scarlets and Wales), A Jones (Ospreys and Wales), S Shaw (Wasps and England), P O'Connell (Munster and Ireland, capt), T Croft (Leicester and England), D Wallace (Munster and Ireland), J Heaslip (Leinster and Ireland).
 
Watched it last week yeah. Good comeback towards the end...

Can't see us winning it though to be honest. Their too strong!
 
They should be called the Celtic Lions. Two Sassenachs in there making up the numbers. It's at altitude - so they'll be spewing their potatos and leeks up after the first ten minutes. The Springboks will destroy them.
 

Great performence form the lines at half time, think South Africa have lost the element of surprise. The Welsh front 3 and Irish Back three are playing superbly, Kearney is having a magestic game at fullback.
 
Sickener. Super finish by the Bok for the last try but it really could have gone either way. Very hard to believe his foot wasn't in touch. Likewise the final penalty against O'Gara was harsh imo.

Agreed mate it seemed for all the technology in the game they couldnt get a clear angle at his foot, i cant beleive it couldnt have been out. South Africa are superb but the Lions were unlucky today.

Thought O Gara could have done more for the try, equally the final penalty was harsh but why take the risk even of a glance that late in the game from that position, he lost his head and was wound up by the fact everybody been saying he was to slight to play for the boks. That said hes a phenomal year form an Irish point of view so i cant really complain.

Dont think we deserved to loose today but you cant take anything away from the boks.

On a side note, with the Confed Cup and Lions Tour im really looking forward to heading to the world cup next year! (hopefully).
