Just saw a couple of clips circulating the media and this time it is not Jaco Johan but a former english players, Andy Goode.


Itoje knee on neck


The first one looks really bad considering that that de alenda is on his back, he can't move as Itoje has all of his weight on the players throat. He then proceeds to push down as he gets up and makes an additional thrust to De Allende. 


That could have been career ending injury. 


So for me it is a straight 8 week ban. The guys was dirty all game   long and  should not play another test this series.

Hogg Bite


Then we have the Hog incident of biting Willie on the arm. Again, biting is a big no no and even back in the days of re-admission when a certain springbok prop got a bit hungry and decided that sean fitz patrick would make a nice snack. 


Lets just say that the prop got what he deserved. 


So in my book, it is two clear offences that should have both players banned for the next game. 


Not that I want the serious to end in such a manner as we always want to beat their best team, but players acts like this should not be tolerated.

Not sure whether any Lions player have actually been charged - nothing of that in the media. at present.

I lost any respect I had for Itoje on Saturday. Thought he was a good hard player, turns out he is a big old cry baby with a dirty streak to boot. Hogg, although that bite if it happened will be near impossible to prove from footage, has always been a soft drama queen as well. Nigel Owens calling him on his soccer moment a few years ago is still one of my favorite rugby moments.

Itoje is still the best lock in the series - RG it's the best in the world.

I was disappointed with how well contained Etzebeth was. For the first half, big thuds on the gainline for no gain, whereas the Lions were getting well behind the trackler.

Itoje has nightmares about the Boks. If it's not our smallest guy in Faf embarrassing him by punishing overzealous pillar defence for England then it's Eben making ironic kissy faces at him.

One thing is certain, Itoje has no guile. 

Faf proved that and since then we've had his number.

He can be as good a player as he wants to be. Running after the ref with waving arms all the time like a toddler who can't get his way, no respect. Same with Biggar bouncing around like a little rabbit waving his arms any time just about anything happens on the field, added to that ridiculous little oscar of his where he fell down clutching his back like he just took a bullet after Bongi gave him a little shove. These soccer stars need to stop the theatrics and play the game, it's pathetic and irritating and sadly this behaviour is becoming the norm in rugby.

Itoje seemed like the revenge sequel to black lives matter.

Eben was unfortunately dominated. We really need RG back, and not on the bench. Josè and Crutch sure know how to waste talent.

Eben was given a 9 rating.  You are a mental case Org. Too much analysis has driven you mad!

What next from the RDS suffering ORG!

The ratings do not match the game, but the typically over-emotional Saffer response to any kind of result. Saffers are like Emus: They are the big bad boy on the block until you stand tall, then they kak themselves and scatter. The Lions had the physical edge for the first 55 to 60 minutes and that was in large part because our big carriers - Eben, Kits, Wiese, Steph, Damian et al - couldn't muscle over the gainline. A storm in a teacup amounting for very slow, predictable phase play punctuated by a kick or an error. None of our locks were higher than a 6, neither our loose forwards. It was an ugly game of very little quality.

Kindergarten Imbecile

You missed 90% of the game and is not even close in your comments.  Normally you miss 75% - but this time it is indeed what I wrote above.

By the way that knee on the neck issue was very clear and I winder whether there would be an investigation as on that one.
