South Africa are such a boring side. Yes they probably deserve the series but they don't win many friends.
Thought some of the Lions are proving to be over the hill now.
It's a young man's game.
Russell was superb when he came on fair play.
 
I’m no rugby fan but I watched that game today, some of the decisions made by the Lions had me scratching my head. Just because one kick to the corner worked they pushed their luck with 3 others which failed badly when there was 3 easy points up for grabs.
That and the error made by Williams proved very costly.

Gatland left the best centre in Britain out, in JD and didn't change the back row for this test, the most sterile back row I''ve ever seen play for the lion's, all three are samey, LRZ not even getting a spot on the replacement bench either, Gats has been inept on this tour, with his selection's and taking off AWJ in his final Lions appearance, I'd like to think that AWJ shoved Gats head down the bog after the game, Gats totally lost this tour for me
Officials ain't helped either with allowing the Saffies to waste time, time and time again,
 
Saw the highlights last night and felt Lions' game management was wrong. You've got to keep the scoreboard ticking over. Should have taken the easy three points instead of kicking for the corner the second time. Also should have taken a drop goal when battering the S African line for five minutes with the forwards and getting nowhere; it was there for the taking.
