Anyone here in 2020 during corona virus because you have rugby withdrawal?

The test that ensured the lions future 🦁

Been waiting for this THRID TEST replay.

Bowe played in the center due to injuries to Roberts and BOD in the 2nd test. Then Flutey got injured and Phillips ended up going to center.

Boks B team that day, so many changes were made to give the guys a run.

Williams should've started all 3 tests

This was the B squad; a loss was expected.

True but we were missing our 2 best players in BOD and Roberts, and our first choice props and first choice full-back.

How come everytime you watch a video like this there's a bunch of idiots arguing in the comments. It was a nice little game and, most importantly, the particpants got some exercise.

"Speculative of Flutey"....its called "flair" where he's from!!

love matfields smiling at the end...now thats what i like about rugby

watching from NZ. Have to say , Lions edged it.

Cool, no bother man. Cheers for the support in the tri-nations, hope De Villiers doesn't ruin it. Hope you enjoy your next trip to SA!!! Expensive though!!! :D

The Magners League select squad set for world domination !!

gboygraeme: well said mate, South Africa does indeed have it's own language - Nkosi Sikelele Africa!!

why wasn´t FLUTEY in the 2011 RWC squad for ENGLAND ???

Shane Williams is a fucking legend

@TennisCoachno1 it helped a lot !!! apreciatte ite

Second in 2009, second in 2021 ... that makes it, 'last' I think?!

Come on the Lions, win the 3rd test v Australia on Saturday.

nice match ! Two sides all want to protect their honor.

Black arm bands though? That is reserved for respect for a person who has died. It was an absurd protest.

How was that a card to Shaw? You drop you shoulders to the deck at your own peril. How was Shaw expected to just stop dead on his own momentum?

I prefer the third test of the 1997 Lion Tour...

who got power rowed at 6:46?

@TeamSpambo yes lets, World champions, Tri nation champions, Lion tammers, 7s world champions, Super14 champions.... players without compare in various positions such as Fourie du Preez, Bryan Habana, Matfeild (and a whole bunch who also could make the world 15). Most point vs ABs by a single player (Steyn), Frans Steyn setting a standard of kicking that makes Wilkinsons jaw drop. IRB Try of the Year Jaque Fourie, Try Saver of the year Habana. As a boks fan, my cup overflows.

they were protesting Bothas ban ... although Botha shouldnt have been banned, wearing armbands is a bit lame really !!! Its not like anyone died !

@Spuddfluff Though the Boks win more often and more recently than the English football team does...

One might think that ROG had a wager on the outcome of the series given his sabaotage of the 2nd test. He is well known to like a flutter on the horses...it wouldn't surpirise me.

i agree with u completely....quinlan got a 12 week ban for the same thing and this guy got a 2 week ban and theres a big fuss bout it. very childish

If it wasn't for ROG the series would have been drawn.

Because of all the injuries!

Green 14 was robbed of a definite try

Some of the backs yes. But most of your forwards were first choice.

Well done lions, you managed to beat a Bok B team..

FUNNY HOW HE SAID SPECULATIVE BY FLUETY. UM HELLO IT CALEED INSTINCT

i am english, so obviously lions fan, yes we did deserve to win the series, but u cant say that crybaby boks can jog on, coz they did win the series, totally in first match, and a come-back in thier second, very close, and lions and sa can be proud, due to the high level of quality rugby

They are often up against biased reffing etc, No way should the Lions have lost in New Zealand 1993 (Dean Richards flipped Bunce onto Lions side and got penalised wtf ?), Australia 2001 and South Africa 2009 should have been Lions, Nathan Grey not red cards and Schalk Burger not red carded when both were stone wall pens....

great lionssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!

ah ... well I must hold my hands up and admit that a few days ago I definitely posted a couple of whinging bitchy posts about being blocked ... so no apology necessary if you were referring to one of those mate ! Good luck in the tri nations and look forward to coming back to your amazing country asap !

@macflurry7 because he was in awful form and when he was given a chance in the warm ups he played poorly again hope that helps!

the lions look like cute little kitties that are getting all angry :)

wow monye on the wing over bowe?? strange choice

Rugby as a great game to watch has finished

lol theres more lions fans then south african fans

He was injured in the last game.

1997 is was visa versa lions win 2 sboks smash lions in 3rd test.., and thats what some people dont understand lions played this 3rd test for pride sboks knew they won and doesn't matter if win or loose so sincerely.... Williams could played all 3tests its not so say lions would win, the difference is 1st 2tests everyone give it there best and sboks win its to late seeing excuses in 3rd (friendly) game...

wud have been great if adam jones was fit.....think the beast wud have been brickin it

Wrong. The British media has influenced u. Burger didnt intentionally stick his hand in Fitzgerald's face. He cleared out the ruck & was holding on as hard as he could. He cudnt see what he was doing. The ref gave a yellow. Even if u think he deservd more doesnt make it true If the boks had gone down to 14, they still cud've won. Plus they wudnt hav selected 2nd string side for the 3rtd test if the series wasnt wrapped up Boks were the better side. Accept it & move on with your life.

was Tommy Bowe playing 13?

what no Lions whitewash?

Who the black guy on lions play for

@EddMan83 The lions are a team made up of the best players in the UK and Ireland, they train for around 2 months together, getting to know there teammates, how they play, needing to gel etc and nearly win the series against the world champions of 2007? Im not saying south africa didnt deserve to win the series but you really are pathetic and immature for slagging off the lions considering the amount the have to prepare

true but it's become part of the game, why don't you penalise everyone who clears someone out in that manner...

Harlequins and England.

Technically what Botha did was illegal....although it happens at virtually every ruck.

wrong call to site bota! Erm does barnes know what he's talking about he charged into the side of a ruck and dislocated Adam Jones' shoulder. It is a yellow and a ban! stupid commentators. Shingler did the same to guest and got carded so why should this be any different...

hmmm ... I am a diehard lions fan who wanted to slap devilliers in the face when he tried to say burger did nothing wrong ... but even Adam Jones (on the receiving end of the clearout in question) said there was nothing wrong with it ! Botha was just unlucky ! he must have hit guys like that 1000 times and not been penalised ... it was a textbook clearout . But the armbands is a bit pathetic !!! this is rugby after all ... not ballet !

@dyfman31 ´But youre team had such a dificulty to win them the lions just won because the south African team was changed

Justice was done, not quite in the way SA expected.

too funny ! half the boks fans (combatbok etc) have blocked me from commenting on their vids !!! And surprise surprise .. they have posted no vids at all from last weeks game !!! poor little lambs are probably too busy licking their wounds ! they can give it ... but they cant take it !!!

Haha they are all tough until Paul O Connell arrives 😂

SA B team vs Lions

the lions were unlucky not to win the series.i thought they were the best team overall

yeah they scored more pints lol.

much of a dead rubber match for SA this one...

Oh ok, i got a different impression from your post about you being blocked. Sorry. Yes i agree De Villiers doesn't have a clue about professional rugby. He should be sacked. There are plenty of great coaches out there, why him? He obviously isn't training them properly. Look at how amazing the springbok defense was during the world cup and White's coaching. Know they just look confused on the pitch. Even though the pack is stronger than in 2007. I don't know why De Villiers is still in.

Lol worst dive for a try I've ever seen!! (Monye) Worst commentators the world ever had to listen to. Brussow throwing players around the field like school children (but at least Williams smiled the whole time???). Coaches freak'n out because they have won a dead rubber test and salvaged some pride I guess? Phillips almost being a bigger douchebag than Saurez. Lions being petty = priceless

@0910dc it's just because it's Stuart Barnes (the shittest commentator the world has to offer)

BLOODGATE, DONT FORGET BLOODGATE.

An early experiment in selecting on a racial basis. Expect more results like this, against Italy, Japan, Scotland, etc. The quota will kill SA rugby.

Springboks - a team of champions. Lions - a team of sore losers. Springboks - hard done by, by the refs. Lions - cried to the ref before each game about "Bok physicality" Springboks - Big strong phyiscal and winners mentality. Lions - Big strong phyiscal and losers mentality. Springboks - winners of the series. Lion - losers of the series.

What are Mike Phillips and Harry Ellis doing on the field at the same time? They're both scrum-halves.

so Lions is a stoy of 4 nations who tour in SH and almost always lose against NZ, Australia or SA. what a "lion-hearted" concept...

06:32

Another set of shitty comments from those scums saying "We may have lost the series 1-2, but we scored 7 tries to the Boks' 5 overall and also outscored them 74 to 63" will surely begin. How disgusting that will be! Who the hell cares about how many tries and points you score in overall? It's the Boks who still won the series and that counts the most! Too bad it feels like shit not to get to see the 3-0 whitewash but SA still won the series :)

Lions win 74 - 63.

ha ha ha ! ... a baby laughing in the face of his would-be attackers . Penalty reversed ... job done . Williams 1- boks 0! Even better was Phillips laughing in boks faces as he chalked up 6 easy points ... just by getting in the way and watching tempers boil over ! Only one set of babies on that pitch Aley ... little temper tantrums cost you losers 9 points !!! Boks should keep their toys in the pram in future !

They were white and I'm just pointing out it was a horrendous decision

shane williams second try was all down to flutey. the commentator gives him no credit and says 'superb line' no it was a superb kick and great offload from flutey. its annoying how much commentators kiss ass when a good player is involved. if anyone else did what shane williams did it would have just been average

It was an unfair decision though.

There's nothing as a B team once someone has don a rugby jersey that's it because every player is chosen they are the best and hats off to this Lions Team they should have won the series

@patergaskin Man, why bother posting if you're going to talk shite? Berger - coward, cheat. Should've gone in the first (?) minute of the second test, 14 men = Lions win, Liosn win the series. SA won by cheating cos they were too scared of losing - win fairly and we'd have no problem.

One of the worst referees ever

Brussow is such a mug!

you can argue that the lions should of won that series

d irish & welsh were the best!!

White armbands with Justice for a yellow card!? WTF? That sort of statement should be reserved for something of meaning. Pathetic. All power to the Lions for this one but f&%K me the British commentator's gloating is nauseating.

And they proved absolutely nothing!!

especially for that thug

Shayne Williams was a bs winger

Lions media circus and commentators fucked that tour up. Won’t watch another BILions tour coz of media disgrace

Dead rubber. Well done domestic cats.

LIONS = pathetic

what no Lions whitewash?
