Re: Lions Team v Emerging Springboks
I've a bad feeling about this game! Looks a decent Emerging Boks side. Weather might make it a lottery though.

Fair play Keith Earls there, the opportunity was lucky with the cr@p kicking from the E-Boks but his finish was class.

Big match from Munster.Don't really understand the criticism of their so called ugly rugby.I love open running rugby but I also admire the collective mastery of this Munster team.What a beautiful machine with that ruthless side to them.

So far the man of the match is Rolland. Best performance from a ref so far. Brilliant at the breakdown.

ROG off after 44. Could be a good sign for Saturday

Disaster. Suppose a few guys put their hands up for test shirts but still: Disaster.

Re: Lions Team v Emerging Springboks
13-all last minute try and brilliant touchline conversion.
In fairness the young Boks probably deserved it

Re: Lions Team v Emerging Springboks
earls needs to get more clued in defensively, should have been his man on the outside there for the try. Having said that, he was excellent going for'ard

Re: Lions Team v Emerging Springboks
Barnes seems to have money on Shane Williams playing in the test. Played a decent 20 minutes after 3 other matches is apparently putting his hand up. Think Gatland and Edwards are doing their best to get him in.
Hook after playing himself into contention shows he doesn't have the top two 2 inches to close out a game. ROG def on the bench I would say if not starting. No worries for Heaslip I'd imagine either. Scrum a lot better but Rolland did referee so more than a coincidence there I'd imagine.
