Even though he doesn’t rate it,
Arise Sir Rassie
Let's not equate Rassie's idiotic antics with the lions playing shithouse.

I can't stand the stupid games that managers play these days. Do your fucking talking on the field.

@victor-meldrew Yeah, Lood made a big difference.

@mikethesnow I take Gatland will dust off his playbook after the 1st test against the ABs in 2017

Surprised at how much dominance the Boks have had up front in the 2nd half.
Yeah, the complete opposite of the 2nd half last week. The Lions really struggled to get out of their own half and lost the aerial battle.
I'm not sure what the Lions' tactics were in the last 40.

Knelt on de Allende's throat.

wow, did not see that second half comign from the SA team. Forwards really stepped up; driving a maul 30 m is bloody impressive.
Been an absolutely arm wrestle of a series. Last week the rub of teh green went teh way of the Lions, and they squeaked home. This week, it went the other way - and the dominance just built. Very interesting; maybe coming in underdone is smart for the Bokke.
So, after teh biggest game between RWC today, we get treated to another one next weekend. Can't wait, will be great fun.
Kolbe was so stupid. Why the hell do people run into that space- they know it's forbidden. That said, probably a yellow.
Faf was lucky that tackle didn't get looked at, and that' he's short. If Eben does that, he's walking off the park I reckon.
Overall, a really fun tight tussle. I've found it engrossing. Thought BOK had one of his better games. That could have really kicked off, and he made clear decisions and communicated tehm well. Someone said 'he reffed the way World Rugby would want him to', adn I reckon they nailed it. Plenty of whistle, but hard to argue with msot of the decisions.
Roll on next week!

Ben can put his whistle away
