When you look at these games...the coming tour is going to be very bland without the crowds...

Rugby has changed so much. That Lions try saved by Jean De Villiers would be disallowed due to a high tackle by JP Pieterson. Bakkies hitting the arm could have been cynical play that led to that knock on. The shoulder charge on Fourie was only a penalty.

Judging on the select examples you've chosen out of the dozens each side commited , your a B&I Lions fan? Hahaha bias.

@@JethroWestraad don't insult over a keyboard brother , makes you look weak. I found it strange that you only addressed cynical play by boks. Quite funny

The Lions going with the rush defense was a bit of a head scratcher, since the boks had utilized it for most of Jake White’s tenure, so they knew exactly where the weaknesses were.

And thus it dawned on Bryce that drastically less subtle unsubtleties would be required from him, were he to bring the Cup back to the Isle of the Long White Cloud of HomeTown Calls

Addie Jacobs was a quota player, they should have played Jacques Fourie as the starting 13.

Jaque Fourie was coming back from injury, that's why he wasn't starting

@@RB28v and then in the tests where he wasn't injured anymore? In the 2nd test they started Addie Jacobs. When they brought Jacques Fourie on, he won the game for us.

@@ar_rugby They phased him in because of his fitness. Jaque then started most games in the Tri Nations...which we also won that year. I'm a massive Fourie fan and I agree he was better than Jacobs. We Just didnt have many options as Conrad Jantjies broke his leg and Percy retired, So Frans went to fullback. Frans at 12 and JDV at 13 would have been good but we had no fullbacks at that stage

Exactly! And he was like a revolving door on defense and kept the Lions in the game
