Why are Brits such sore losers? The best team won, really. No Lion has congratulated the Boks

The Lions were lucky - the Boks missed 11 points worth of kicks. & they stood up to the Boks in the scrum, but couldn't keep up the pace for the full 80 & started breaking down.

It was a dirty test, but both sides were guilty (Sheridan - punch to Bekker's groin; BoD no arms tackle on Roussow etc). There was a lot of niggle. But that's not supprising - look at the Lions history with their "99 call"

All 3 tests were pure entertainment great advert for Rugby......Lions were unlucky. Shaw should have started 1st Test thou!

@JordanEvans3794 Good intellegent comeback. If we're gonna go down the racial slur route here's one we used to sing as kids:

Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief;

Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef;

I went to Taffy's house, Taffy wasn't home;

Taffy came to my house and stole a marrow-bone.

I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed,

I took the marrow bone and beat in his head.

mjribes ure sum dopey clown the bokes werent the best team. they mite have won but they werent the better side. fourie was in touch for their last try annd dickinson waas too much of a coward to make that hard call. Burger shud have been sent off for gouging fitzgerald. Botha got two weeks for dislocating jones's shoulder The rugby world sees ure team to be aload of scumbags who use cheap shots cause ure not good enuf to go up against another team and play fair. Get a life and open ure eyes.

@GrungeRocker1000 Hmmm... good comeback. Strange that I sound like "a typical tool racist south african" considering that I'm black Botswanan living in South Africa. I suppose you're gonna blame me for apartheid too. It's alway amusing how ignorant foreigners think they know something about Africa. And speaking of racist, do you wanna discuss the Ozzie treatment of the aborigines? Now who's the tool? Tool!

@mjribes

you know what you sound like ?

a typical tool racist south african. :D

[mjribes]

@GrungeRocker1000 You sound like a whinging Brit

[GrungeRocker1000]

@mjribes

your making it sound like you guys won a white wash. well guess

what you didnt. you just won. and just got lucky.

just like you did in the 2 RWC's you didnt deserve to win.

You seem to be a bitter man. The Lions played well, however there has been little congratulating to the boks for their achievement on any of the posts. Instead all I see is sour grapes and whinging arseholes like you getting petty and name calling. You are a loser accept it.
