Great recovery after Ftizgerald was taken over the try line.

BOD running scared of Matfield early on though

I think I must be the Lions lucky charm.
First game of RU i have watched since the World Cup final and they are having a blinder!


I had probably better not change channel for their sakes.

I thought BOD got stuck in to a man twice his size, after he saw him picking on someone else! Great stuff this. Tension is brilliant.

Drop goal 16 -5.

Can we pack in at half time?

Poor decision for the obstruction penalty IMO,

He had a go and then when he saw who it was he retreated.

Ah well - fingers crossed the second half will be as good as the first

16 8 ht

The big difference for me compared to last week is simply the aggression is there. Were getting stuck into the South Africans and not taking a backwards step and they don't like it, hence were on top at the minute and was on the front foot most of the half. Last week, i thought we weren't aggressive at all and seemed to like pride and passion because of this, can tell we want it this week. Second half last week i thought we stepped up the intensity and was a lot more pride and passion about the play, hence we nearly pulled it off in the final 40.

Dont know about that...he had a go at him and it rattled the Boxs more.

Play the same way and spread it a bit and they are there for the taking.

Some of these Lions backs are that good they could probably manage a game of League

O'Driscoll is sensational, Kearney would suit League down to the ground and Jamie Roberts would be a huge handful.

Wigan made enquiries about Jamie Roberts about 18months back just before he broke into the Wales side..............gutted we didn't get him.
