I think you need to check the official murder/rape stats between the two countries, bearing in mind certaintly the latter most are not reported in SA and stop spouting such nonsense. I bet you wouldn't go out on your own after dark Fred in downtown Joburg, outside of a Lions tour with strength in numbers.

Truth is, Ref was absolutely awful, the amount of high tackles, this is life changing sort of stuff, there is a good reason why TMO's were introduced. And if you truly believe that changed the game for the worse than you actively neglect the well being of others

Eye gouging is a clear red card offense and Schalk Burger should have been sent off. The only reason he wasn't is that it was only 30 secs into the game and the ref didn't want to ruin the contest. Like most fans I want to see a competitive match between two sides with 15 men on the pitch, but he really should have gone there's no question of that. However would we have had such an epic contest if he had?

One of the most exhilarating and brutal rugby matches of all time 0:30 20 seconds into the game Schalk Burger gouged Luke Fitzgerald's eye This was spotted by the linesman and Burger was given just a yellow card for the offence 1:17 Brian O'Driscoll exchanged shoves with Victor Matfield which provoked both sides 3:19 Rob Kearney was taken out late Bakkies Botha told Mike Phillips he had "sexy blue eyes" The second half was even more brutal Mike Phillips questioned the South African forwards as to if they were on steroids 3:48 Botha cleaned out Adam Jones from a ruck dislocating his shoulder 4:14 He then tried to wind up his replacement Andrew Sheridan 4:55 Sheridan caught Andries Bekker with a low blow in a maul (missed by the officials) 5:12 Pierre Spies charged at the Lions' defence sending Jamie Roberts flying 5:18 Brian O'Driscoll blindsided Danie Roussow knocking him out and concussing himself in the process O'Driscoll played a few more minutes and was replaced by Ronan O'Gara 6:22 On another charge from Pierre Spies, he knocked out O'Gara who then missed a crucial tackle on Jaque Fourie 7:14 Shane Williams on the counter-attack was smashed by Heinrich Brussow Hope you enjoyed the video!

@@declanmccabe9063 To be fair they came up against probably one of the best Bok teams ever, albeit utterly uncoached. If that Bok pack were coached by Rassie or anyone marginally competent (say, McGeechan, oof) they could’ve rivaled ca 2015 ABs or ‘74 Lions for best ever. Beat the ABs thrice that year and much less squeaky than either of the Lions wins. Robertson & O’Driscoll best center combo I ever saw and I submit that Kearney in 2nd Test best individual performance OAT.

I was lucky enough to be at Loftus that day.Maybe Schalke should've gone for the eye gouging (50 cap shirt saved him?) Plenty of debatable points during the game. One thing for sure,everyone who played absolutely gave their all

This is when the "old style" ended. It was fun at the amateur level but these guys could be killers. Kearney delivered the greatest FB performance in history. BOD should have been red carded for that tackle (Im Irish by the way) ROG was concussed, no HIA protocol at that time. Different game boys. Ive been a rugby fan for 40 years, can tell the newbies from a mile off. Rugby, like 😊life aint black or white.

Are there any better supporters in world sport than the Lions fans. To go to a rugby mad nation, thousands of miles from home and have two thirds of the stadium is frankly incredible. When you first look at the pictures you do a double take as you think they are empty red seats.

Accuracy is not important. The television company can make a star of a commentator or a has-been pretty much at will. There are dozens or hundreds, maybe even thousands who could do the job but your face must fit and then you get huge pay and privilege. So strange it is.

Through everything else, that try given to the Boks at 73:39 was clearly a major refereeing blunder only because the video of the the foot crossing the touch line before being grounded was downright obvious! Had that not happened, it would have been a fantastic try anyway!
