Maybe time to bring on more front row replacements as ref seems to have made his mind up in that area.

Kolbe milking it. Rich given his red card offence last week.

Kolbe definitely dropped down, just a pen

A penalty probably a fair call, but not really much Finn could have done about that

Shocking play acting again.

I don't even think it is a penalty...

Kolbe really does need to be sanctioned on his soccer play acting at some stage.

Do they really need to do a full on interrogation after the ref has already made his decision??

Pollard is keeping us in the game!

Lions got this, Boks can’t score or kick their goals

These days it is all day long!

Excellent kick there!

What a take from VDM!

Lawes, what a recovery


Savage try to concede though

Everyone suddenly thinks they are Finn Russell

Bring back Rob Kearney.

Oh dear oh dear

Bollox

Terrible box kick.

Terrible tackle.

“Sorry bru, we don’t have that angle.”

That came off his hand!

Terrible tackle.  

Damage was done before that with the loose pass, killed the Lions attack and they were immediately on the back foot.

That's come off his arm

Ye have to award that try in fairness.

Heaf wrote:That's come off his arm

But arguably not forward....and the SA team will never show any angle against this.

Well we are going to have to win this game now!

Poor decision, but the Lions paying for not taking their chances in the first half. This half, like the preceding two tests, has been another reversal in terms of territory and general dominance.

Individual errors now taking their tole on the Lions now. The Boks getting stronger.

Curry looking like he might lose us this game

Williams a close second

Should have put it to bed in the first half

Not even fired a shot this half. So annoying.

Have we had a back line move yet?

This combo will be interesting.

Ali Price overtaking them both!

AWJ finally takes his leave from the Lions, what a great servant he has been

Russell has his gonads with him.

Finn has been great today.

Go Finn. Monster kick.

What a kick from Russell

13 all

Well done Murray. Nicely caught out SA player.

This is winding up nicely. Was Gartland’s comment on extra time taken up?

Finally awj off

Light fuse and walk away

Do you need a Rennie?

Nothing wrong with Steyn's boot, even after all these years

Great piece of attacking play.

Murray again with the game smarts.

Etzebeth hurt again, we don’t say that often…

Not sure why it wasn't a pen in front of the posts when he slapped the ball out of the SH's hands

Call me cynical but ...

Thats it then...

Rubbish call by the ref
