Robin Evans Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Bloody awful. Tedious. Boring. Lacking hardly any good rugby. Poor discipline. No matter how the sky commentators dress it up, that was turgid. And I enjoy union. That was an endurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irritatingly frustrating that it lacked so much in skill and/excitement. I enjoy my union but bug ger me, that was awful telly. Folks pay a bloody fortune to watch this tripe when we can actually get in grounds. I think 6 nations tickets come in at about £120 a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the average leaguer response to union. I quite enjoy it and have enjoyed so e cracking games. But this was proper ######. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second half line outs were a joke too It's why I mostly follow the club game rather than internationals (except the club rugby of those boring turds Exeter) ... For anyone who didn't see it check out this belter (and the highlights don't justify the whole game!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an endurance I thought the South African tries were pretty good (decent kick throughs at least), but I agree with your overall analysis. It was disjointed and dull. Hopefully the Lions will try and be more creative in the deciding test, because if they play like they did in the 2nd Test, I think they'll lose again. They've got to be prepared to throw the ball around a bit more. There's talk of some personnel changes, so we'll see what Gatland opts for.
