They’re not all double jabbed, it seems ! 

Match is on but we’re so short on players we’ve only got one back on the bench !

Ja, I don't know what to make of this circus, we could have had  the matches in the UK with full stadiums and plenty of bok fans around. 

It is unconventional,  but it  would have worked. 

They could have  send 4  or 5 of the provinces north and combine it with the rainbow cup, meaning we would have all of our players in the North for at leas 6 weeks. 

Then we also have  our foreign based players that we could  have selected from that  didn't make the  squad. We have  so  many to make a full  team. 

Sharks, stormers, Bulls, Cheetahs, Lions

SA Invitational/Barbarians (Foreign Based players)  

SA A

Springbok  test 1,  2, 3,

Given that the games are being played every 3/4 days, we would have had  much  better games than the rubbish we  had  to endure so far

Test any group of people and the PCR tests will bring up positives regardless. 

If they did testng in the UK the same thing would happen there.

As for the number of jabs the more you get the sicker you will be and faster.

I hear there are two new variants and apparently the current vaccines wont help (they don't help in anycase they kill and cause severe adverse reactions) Much now is being said about the vaccinated getting covid. In fact the last thing you should do if you have had Covid ( Flu is out of fashion now) is to have the vaccine.

The whole Lions tour is becoming a full on disaster. 

Its a flipping disgrace they do not play full strength franchises!! These matches can be a much fun to watch as test.

Nevertheless I will be watching as I always like to see the Boks play decent opposition.

A pity they can't include some of the Bok squad Sharkies...some of the fringe players.

I agree, Draad. It would make more of a match.

It is becoming a farce.

No that is wrong - it is already a total farce.

Beenz, it's not ideal, but I won't call it a farce just yet...pity we can't have strong midweak sides playing them, but that's unfortunately the reality we live in at present.
