So with the 3 Bokke players testing positive, are we seeing the beginning of the end of the tour?
I hope not, but don't hold out a lot of hope.Say it ain’t so Johan
I with you Mike, really looking forward to it, but kind of beginning to resign myself .

Apparently 3 Boks have tested positive to COVID.
Lions fly out shortly....
The saffas need to get in a bubble pronto and stick to it
They've been in a bubble for 3 weeks, but they still have to have food delivered, rooms cleaned, etc - Delta is very contagious.
Also First Name Alun Wyn, Surname Jones - so it's either Jones or Alun Wyn, not Wyn Jones (who is a Welsh prop)

In fact, knew that. Now corrected.

Hogg (Scotland)Is Harris really worthy of a test spot ? ( this is written by the ferns biggest fake Scotsman as well ). Surely Aki or Farrell play 12 with Henshaw at 13 ?

Beginning of the end of the tour…
Send them over here for a replay of the third test.

If they're all in isolation together, why can't they train? Have the squad get covid and move on...

They could, default the first test, and be all recovered for 2 and 3….
SARU might get in a bit of trouble if one of them dies or is seriously ill tho.

And there’s more…. maybe the canes can loan back some of the big south african locks we have

Farrell on the bench to cover 10, 12
Davies to cover 9
Liam Willaims to cover 11, 14, 15Harris' defensive role can't be underplayed. Individually he cuts down so much space. Collectively he's in charge of the defensive unit.
On attack he offers more than Aki IMHO. See his grubber to put LRZ in for example.
-
Bulls vs Lions is under threat.
Several Bulls players and at least one on the management team have tested positive.
-
@mikethesnow I Just read om 365 that one option being considered due to the Boks and Bulls having Covid issues is for the Lions to play Georgia this weekend.
- Well that did not age well, see post below -
