DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Not pretty, but sensible from Biggar to take a shot at goal here. Link to post Share on other sites

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Can see the Lions are really trying to spread the ball wide when they can. Looking for those 10/15m channels out wide. Link to post Share on other sites

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Few phases of quick ball from us, we managed to get a numerical advantage in the wide channel for the first time. Henshaw goes through a gap and opens up, with 15m to go, with support either side a great tackle from Le Roux forces Henshaw to spill the ball forwards! 😬😬😬 Great chance missed there.

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Big half to come, South Africa in control for most of that half. Coped well with our attacks, but can definitely see their "weakness" in that wide area. We need to exploit that with our mobile backrowers and our backline, problem is getting a platform against the most physical team in the world in order to do that. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Good start of the half from the Lions...driving maul from a line-out and Cowan-Dickie goes over. Then minutes later a South African try ruled out, was a very close call however, not sure I agree with the TMO that the scorer was infront of the kicker. But do think think the pass before the kick was forward (which they thought was ok). Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Short lived...Lions defence goes to sleep out wide, with a little chip through and going through a few hands Faf De Klerk goes over. I can see a few people wanting this try ruled out to, but for me it was fine. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Been very ragged this half so far. Just need to settle a bit and chip away at the lead. Link to post Share on other sites

Actually the raggedness seems to be suiting us a bit more at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Really like Price at 9, if him and Hogg can get some interplay going, they'll be really dangerous. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Lions and Hamish Watson got away with a yellow there. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Under a bit of pressure are the Lions now. Also Nigel Owens being added to commentary is a great move from Sky. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Might be some Saints bias but I think Biggar and Lawes have been very very good this game. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 With 9 to go Lions get away with one, fortunately Kolbe knocked the ball on in an aerial contest. Link to post Share on other sites
