Lion Test Series

Great game yesterday. Shame about the first half. Vickery was owned and chances missed.

Hoping Shane Williams plays on tuesday and shows decent form. I'm not convinced by Monye.

Shame about the referee, you mean! Did he forget to bring his yellow card or something? How many times did the Boks kill the ball in the last 20 minutes without even a warning?

The Lions should have won that game. Shane Williams in for Monye, Adam Jones in for Vickery, O'Gara in for Stephen Jones.

Listened on the radio as I don't have s*y (that's a swear word in my house ) but sounded like Monye played himself out of the next test. 3 clear tries missed! not good enough against the world champions. As for Vickory. Never rated him anyway. If Murray is still injured it has to be the guy Jones from the Hear Bear bunch

My knowledge on Rugby isn't fantastic, but even I could see the Ref was a joke whilst watching it down the pub with a couple of mates. O'Connell was not a happy chappy at half time whilst walking off and talking to the Ref. There were a couple of penelties he clearly got wrong. And no warnings or yellow cards at the end when the Boks were dead on their feet. And yeah Monye should have scored a couple. All round thought I think the Lions were just unluckly yest. It was very fine line between winning and losing.

But I said to my mate before kick-off why oh why is Vickory playing? He's been rubish for the past couple of year and it clearly showed.

On the other hand Tom Croft is simply brill. For such a big man, I mean hugh (and I've seen him down the Tigers) he covers so much ground, and he's pretty good with the ball as well. It made me think why he wasn't selected at the start of the tour?

Finger crossed for next week. I hope they can win and set up a grandstand finish for the final Test.
