Looking forward to the 2nd test. Hamish Watson not even on the bench. Precaution?
Lions will need to watch Kolbe. Livewire guy.

Well, fair to say if the Lions got the benefit of the doubt with some ‘50-50’ calls last week, SA have got them in the 1st half this week so far. Wonder if the pre match comments have played any part in that.

It's a very tight battle. Not much running rugby unfortunately. S Africa have two speedy wingers but they've had no chance. Lions have contained their opponents well.

Wasn't enamoured with last weeks ref and the same could be said about this, both want to be centre of attention.

the ref has been a disgrace. maybe gatland should make a social media rant video about how the refs hate them.

The replay proves it's not a try so he gives....a try. I will never understand rugby.

needless to say he's bottled every call today and he's been a disgrace.

Disappointing performance and played right into the hands of the South Africans. The Lions won't win next week either

fafs "tackle" which even as a sale fan, he has form for, not even given a proper look.
then the two try one each.
that video went a long way to this result.
that said, the persistence with the poor air game was awful and gatland massively out coached.

Hogg hasn't done himself any favours so expect him to be replaced along with DvdM. Harris did enough to keep his place, but as for Alun-Wyn Jones, sorry mate, but time's up on your Lions career after today's performance.

Setting aside national passion and gatlands partisan selection policies, I’d say several players should have played their way out of the side for next week.
pains me to say it, Hogg was poor, dropped several high balls. Van der merwe was even worse. Anthony Watson did nothing. Biggar was crap. The only forward who played reasonably well was curry.
I expect Williams, adams, possibly Rees-zammit, Farrell to all come in. I’d go further, and change curry to 8, bring in Hamish Watson, at least one different lock, and shuffle the front row. I’d also bring in Russell but can’t see gatland doing that, although he may bring him into the bench.

Why was a SA Jonker actually the TMO, surely it should have been an independent official.

Yesterday’s game was a dire watch - tried to play them at their own game and lost. The 40 minute 1st half lasted over an hour - dull as. Not exactly a display of tactical genius.

British and Irish Lions head coach Warren Gatland has made sweeping changes to his matchday squad for Saturday's decisive third Test against South Africa.
Hooker Ken Owens, prop Wyn Jones, scrum-half Ali Price, centre Bundee Aki, wing Josh Adams and full-back Liam Williams all start in Cape Town.
Fly-half Finn Russell, lock Adam Beard and number eight Sam Simmonds come into the 23 for the first time this series.
Owen Farrell, Taulupe Faletau, Anthony Watson and Stuart Hogg are out of the squad.

Any reason why Sky are not covering The Bledisloe Cup game on Saturday morning?

they don’t have the rights to those matches any more, same as super rugby, contract ended
an online platform called ‘rugby pass’ (I think) has the rights now

Australia have dropped three players from their Bledisloe Cup opener against New Zealand on Saturday after they broke curfew with a drinking session.
Winger Marika Koroibete, number eight Isi Naisarani and prop Pone Fa'amausili continued to drink alcohol for more than two hours after curfew following a team-bonding session in Auckland.
Coach Dave Rennie said the players had "angered" the rest of the squad.
"These three men have paid a big price for their decisions," said Rennie.
He added: "We've got a big squad here - 42 players. Thirty-nine understood the importance of getting together and getting connected and having a quiet beer and three guys lacked the discipline beyond that.
"It's not so much [about being] intoxicated. It was the fact that they continued drinking well beyond the time that was listed.
"We've stated the importance of our preparation for the All Blacks. This obviously didn't fit with their mindset so [we're] incredibly disappointed and, to be honest, there's a big chunk of that group who are pretty angry."
all-blacks should win this one anyway

Easy enough win for NZ, would've been a bit closer if The Aussies hadn't missed so many kicks.
