South Africa 'A' v British & Irish Lions
-
While watching the first half, I was sitting here thinking how much I miss the good AB/Boks tests, you know where everyone just rips in and hurts each other at every collision etc.
Just seems so much better than the sanitised stuff we get too often playing the Wallabies etc. -
You’d be watching that on Betamax I guess. It’s all a bit sanitised these days as a spectacle. Just don’t say that to the poor buggers thar have to play the game.

yep, they do tend to be, still reckon best test I have seen in last 20 odd years or so has to be ABs/Boks at Ellis Park in 2013, was a bloody top brutal match!

Neither team brought much else apart from bosh. Handling was truly dire at times. If these shadow teams were a preview than I can't say I'm excited for the test series, especially without crowds.

Just watched that last 20 minutes of the Boks A and Bulls, well done to the Bulls for scrapping out a win. Boks A looked rattled.
