Cape Town was originally the venue for the 1st test with the 2nd and 3rd tests to be played in Johannesburg but the Covid situation has forced a rethink and now the Lions will be staying in Cape Town where all three tests will now be played.
Seems like the right move if you ask me.
Agree
Cape Town is the venue where if the Boks are to lose a test it will be here.
What jackass agreed to this.
All the tests should rather have been played at Loftus.
Ja, it's not ideal giving away some of our home advantage, but that's the way it's gonna be...luckily not looking like rain for the first two tests...a bit on the cold side, but it is winter...
Beenz, PCR tests or not. Covid is rampant in the country...I had it, mildly, but it's different to all colds or flu I ever had...some people get really sick. It is a big problem, but it's overhyped and dramatized into something it's not.
The home crowds is probably the greatest feature of such a tour...the Barmy Army(I know it's not cricket...same thing though)...all offered on the Covid Altar.
The Boks usually do better on the highveld. Given most games were going to be on the highveld, how will this impact Gatland's team selection following the result of the 1st test.
I think this will suit the Lions quite well.
