south aftica v lions 2nd test june 2009 rugby tour

[AustinTassletine]

@burkol90 I don't know ANYONE who thought that O'Gara should have started ahead of Jones. NO ONE. No newspaper columnists, online commentators, TV pundits. If you have evidence of this I'd really like to see it. O'Gara is a solid 10 when playing behind a strong pack and can keep you ahead of a game. But his tackling is suspect at best and he has no creative skills. Do you really think he could have produced a moment of magic like the pass out of the back of the hand to create the Lions' 1st try?

eye gauging son of a bitch!

[MrDanmc16]

o gara so far out of his depth

[Mesojonistic]

@MrDanmc16 Lions top scorer !? Out of his depth ? You know nothing...

[xjoburg]

NTF, you are correct. Leicester 2nd XV should be ranked number 1 in the world. The Boks obviously didn't realize what a priviledge for the 5the XV to play Leicester. There is no greater priviledge than that. Probably Leicester 1st XV should be ranked second. Then the Lions and each of the Home Nations. That would put the AB at # 7 in the world and the Boks at number 8. The IRB should look to you for world rankings and eliminate the current system.

[xjoburg]

@xjoburg BTW, here is a quote about Saturday's Test between AB and Boks:

John Smit's men have been receiving rave reviews in the New Zealand media, from Sean Fitzpatrick's admission that the current Springboks scare him to Conrad Smith's acknowledgement that they (Boks)are the greatest challenge for the All Blacks.

The AB admit that they shouldn't be ranked # 1- they lost to the Boks THREE times last year.

[xjoburg]

@xjoburg I do agree that Burger's move was worthy of a red card which he probably would have got had it taken place further into the match. The 3rd test was a lame duck Test. Boks had little to play for. Record books will show the truth- Boks won the series 3-1. Kind of like pay back for the "99" play of the '74 Lions. Now THAT was cheating.

[nickthefox72]

@xjoburg the way the lions played in 74 was suspect at times but fair and within the rules.and burgers eye gauging was a red card whether it be first minute or any minute.to the comment below yes south africa are phenomenal right now.but they have won more than half their matches thru lucky decisions or foul play.to be a springbok is to win at all costs

[nickthefox72]

@xjoburg the 99 call is nothing compared to 80 minutes of shite we saw from the bokkas in the 2nd lions test 09.80 minutes of illegal tackles and foul play

[xjoburg]

I never knew that the Poms were such whingers. I just thought it was Ozs that whinged. I guess theye are both cut from the same cloth though.............let's face it, SA is the best rugby nation in the world right now. That will change in time but for now they reign supreme. Play the damn game and the winner will emerge. BTW Wales did quite well against the Bok 3rd XV.

[nickthefox72]

@xjoburg eye gauging is a life ban offence.cheating south africa bastards.oh and the world rankings clearly have new zealand as world number one.oh and nice to see that south africa couldnt even beat my club side last october with ten of your first team in the side and 9 of our first team out on international duty. REMEMBER? LEICESTER TIGERS 22-17 SOUTH AFRICA. nice to see you play well against our clubs SECOND TEAM

[roborob101]

@nickthefox72 Here's the SA team that played your beloved club side.........15 Earl Rose, 14 Odwa Ndungane, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Jongi Nokwe, 10 Ruan Pienaar, 9 Heini Adams, 8 Ashley Johnson, 7 Davon Raubenheimer, 6 Dewald Potgieter, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 Danie Rossouw, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle (c), 1 Gurthro Steenkamp....Where do you count ten 1st team Boks??? My count is 1......with a few reserves...get your facts right first, otherwise you risk talking shit!!

[nickthefox72]

@roborob101 you neglect substitutions.and at the time ten of the side playing leicester played in those internationals.now ur comparing a team nearly a year on thats going to play new zealand? even if you are correct,did you look at the leicester tigers team?a third were local players from the city! and we had 6 english one welsh one irish one pacific islander(alesana tuilagi) and a scot missing from our regular line-up due to the same internationals.

[roborob101]

@nickthefox72 My apologies to the rugby Oracle, looking at this latest Bok team selected to play NZ, there were 3 first choice Boks in the team that lost to Leicester, and a few reserves.....15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Jean de Villiers, 13 Jaque Fourie, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Ricky Januarie, 8 Pierre Spies, 7 Francois Louw, 6 Schalk Burger, 5 Victor Matfield, 4 Bakkies Botha, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 John Smit (c), 1 Gurthro Steenkamp.

[nickthefox72]

@xjoburg it aint whinging mate,its stating facts.south africa are good.but they cheated to this win,played underhand and dirty and downright dishonourable.if you feel a team should win at ALL costs then more fool you.you just shaded the first game,cheated in the second,and got hammered ijn the third.

[xjoburg]

Who was the pansy in the No. 14 jersey trying to make love to Fourie as he was crossing the line to score that try??

[nickthefox72]

@xjoburg best is the fans.you were out supported and outsung in ur own back yard

[xtc20077]

The lios were robbed this series. All the southern hemi press and match officals were on the side of cheating South Africa. Terrible desicions in both the first two tests. Shame really.

Still heres to Wales beating them tomorrow and then Aus given them a good thrashing in the tri nations in a few months!

[xjoburg]

@xtc20077 You are correct. If this series had been about who whinged and whined the best, the Lions would have easily won. Unfortunately tis series was about RUGBY and the got their arses WHOOPED!!

[nickthefox72]

@xjoburg whooped?nah mate.we played fair,much to our detriment.you cheated like fuck in the first 2 tests.eyes gouging,tripping.and how the referee could walk with the huge brown envelope full of rand in his back pocket is anybodies guess

[sainthomsen]

Brian o'driscoll is Living legend best centre in the world . Schalk burger , dirty eye gouging bastard . South africa , would help if you played by the rules for once :)

[nungu99]

I think BOD lost this for the lions. Too much bring it on and not enough execution of Lions game plan. BOD = arrogant prick. I'd love to see Bakkies and BOD 1:1. There would be no more "bring it on".

[binge90]

@nungu99 You'd like to see a 6 foot 8 inch 120kg Lock versus a 5 foot 8 inch centre? You're a fucking retard. Everything that was good about the lions backline went through O'Driscoll, he had nothing to do with losing the match apart from getting concussed.

[nungu99]

@binge90 You are the ignorant retard. If BOD had have concentrated on his game instead of doing dangerous tackles on Danie Roussouw the result would have been totally different. Did you even watch the game? Who replaced BOD, ummmm that would have been ROG, ummmmm who missed the vital tackle on Jacques Fourie to allow his try, that would have been ROG. See a pattern emerging here, now think slowly so the potatoes don't clog up your brain.

[amasonga]

@binge90 That lock is nothing, just a big dumb dirty bully.

[SunbeamEXTREME]

BOD = ASSHOLE101!!!

[Shannus]

fuckin ronan ogara. BOD= genius. O'gara= useless

[CloughStar]

shoudl've been red card for burger and no penalty against o'gara

stupid ref

[HOOWANTSTONO]

O Driscoll was peeing in his pants

[Shannus]

when?

[bakgat1000]

What a good win!!!! Love O Connell's face!!!!

[twinytwo]

whats funny about the fight is the boks have no problem bitting drico but they dont have the balls to hit O Connell

[thebutterbean234]

haha exactly!! but thats what the boks are like, they'll hit and push people that are smaller then them, but they'd never go for anyone the same size as them..

Cowards...

[xjoburg]

@twinytwo Even worse, the Lions don't even have the ball the WIN the match!!

[ORahilly]

bod=legend!

[xjoburg]

@ORahilly In his own mind. An excellent player but GREAT players help their teams win meaningful matches and he could never do that.
