Overall very disappointed. How you can say we were robbed baffles me. The Lions were outplayed in the first two tests, although, I will say they were out fought too. They went into the first test with too much respect. They should have treated the Boks with as much contempt as they had for us. Poor selection choices along with the lack of "dog" in the thick of it could only spell a defeat for the series. What made it plain for me was when I watched the S14 final and said to TCMB that if the Lions go to SA and think they can play the field with the likes of O'Gara and Vickery they will lose 3-0.
I thought Croft, Shaw, Flutey, Adam Jones and Monye were outstanding against their normal run of play. Michael Phillips is one of the only players to have actually stepped up to the plate and took the bull by the balls. Some good and bad reffing didn't play well but when you're playing at the pinnacle of your game you should be at your most disciplined.
I should have gone to SA for 6 weeks but I chose to spend my tour savings on my home instead.
I'm glad I did.

Well Berger should have been sent off after 50 seconds. Never a yellow and only 8 weeks ban after. Remember a French lad getting 2 years for less.
As for the Justice armbands just glad the Boks as a whole have been citied by thr IRB.
Most people say we Brits have a war of attrition with the Aussies me myself find the Boks worse.
Now then I now it might be slightly basis but go on Sportnetwork.com and try the clubs message boards. Try the Quins one for sure. Tigers is always busy and theres Welsh ones on there.

The boks have always been feisty. They are, in my opinion, a dirty Argentina. The tri-nations can't come quick enough for me now. After watching how bad the AB's are lately it's going to be a good series. They've been ruined by Henry and Hansen the same way they ruined a good Welsh side.

Yup agree with you there and took another Kiwi and Engish coach to turn a good squad of players into a great team. Cardiff Wasps? as a new name for Wales?. Got to be better than Ospreylia?.
