The last match on the British & Irish Lions 2021 tour to South Africa… also the deciding match on who takes the honours, the Springboks or the British & Irish Lions…
Monumental match…
Such a pity that not 1 single match on this Tour had spectators… we live in an abnormal world.
Shuffle up, shuffle in… charge a drink… things are about to get real!
Lions players out on the field…
Damian de Allende out 1st for the Bokke, celebrating his 50th Cap…
The rest of the Bokke also now out on the field…
SA Anthem up next…
Formalities done and dusted… time to start the war!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Lions!
Lions penalty, playing the ball in front of the player who knocked…
Posts!
About 40m on the angle… not too difficult…
Missed!!
Bokke penalty, Wiese tackled high..
Dicipline today is key…
Not straight into the lineout by Bongi Mbonambi… criminal!
Bokke not giving the Lions an inch, on defence… in the Lions faces, tackling them back.
It is clear the Lions want to pepper the Bokke with Up-And-Unders…
Bokke scrum, well inside the Lions half….
We’ll have a reset scrum…
Bokke penalty advantage on the Lions 22…
Penalty it is…
But the Bokke seem to be getting over the advantage line easier than the Lions…

Dan Biggar receiving a lot of medical attention….

Hi guys
GBS, I don’t have facility to watch the game, please elaborate on your comment so I can get the feeling of the game.
Lions penalty, 1m inside the Bokke half, no full release in the tackle by Wiese… kicked to touch.

I will try, Cosa!!
Kwagga Smith on for Franco Mostert, who seems to be off for blood.
Will be interesting to hear if the Lions go about trying to exploit the fact that all 3 Bok locks are starting, with 2 loosies on the bench, one small, one medium size.. Will they target Etzebeth and/or Mostert knowing if either or both need to go off then it;s only Lood the lock left and there must be doubts about whether he can last at full pace for the whole game. Problem for the likes of Etzebeth if they do niggle him and try rough him up if he goes back at them then he could get carded but if he doesn’t then may end up going of injured as we saw with du Toit last week.
Lions scrum, 8 or 10m outside the Bokke 22.
Reset scrum
