    Pretty poor game all round I thought. Lions had the winning of it but made error after error at key moments and gave away way too many penalties. The wining of the game for me was the Springboks scrum in the second half.

    Agree re the scrum. Thought Curry and Williams were awful, too. Watson can be very aggrieved at not starting over the former.

    I quite like rugby union but don't understand anyone supporting the "lions" seems to me to be a statement of colonialism and britishness

    Ooops sorry, don't mind me. Just came in the wrong door there, as you were.

    The blame for the poor performances lie mostly with Gatland. He got the game plans completely wrong!

    Strange way to look at it.

    For me it’s the home nations coming together once every 4 years to go up against the three giants of rugby on their own turf.

    It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever actually read on here.

    Don't watch the rugby usually, watch Scotland games in 6 nations sometimes but was on the phone to my old man earlier and honestly thought he was having a heart attack or something, then he came back on the phone saying we'd scored a try. Pure arguing with him about it after.

    Some very, very good rugby in the Autumn Nation Series. The Ireland v New Zealand game is the best game I've seen in a long while. More please!
