20 minutes

Post by Oldschool »

After 20 minutes, the Lions management should have taken Vickery off (His tour should now be over).
The scoreline of this match is RSA 27 (20 of these points contributed, curtesy of the Lions Management) Lions 22.

Changes
Jones and Sheridan in for Vickery.
Kearney in for Byrne.
Luke in for Monye.

And there's more

Can't argue with any of that.

They blew us away for the first 20 minutes. Vickery wasn't up to it at all.
Though O'Connell was having a shocker but he had a very good final 15 so fair play to him. Never stopped trying. Same goes for Phillips. Thought he was poor in first 60 but finished well...
Just goes t show you what a bit of platform does.

The strong finish gives us hope for next week.

Adam Jones and O'Callaghan will start next week. Probably Rees too although his throwing was nearly as bad as Rees.

Would like to see Luke in for Monye too. I think Luke would have done better with the chances Monye butchered.
