Johnson primed for battle ahead 1:48pm on 04 Nov 2009 Typical safety-first selection from Johnson. No Hartley, no Foden, no Lawes...

It's lucky they're only playing Australia. South Africa or even the All Blacks would put 40 past that lot.

Steve Thompson? There's one for the future. Nice one, Johnno.
Can wounded Lions salvage more than pride? 07:28am on 03 Jul 2009 "You're only as good as your last game."

Which is why Shane Williams didn't make the first two Tests. You can't have it both ways.
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 6:19pm on 30 Jun 2009 D'Arcy? Surely not - Flutey is the only other guy out there with the weapons to break open the Boks. D'Arcy hasn't played well at the very top level for some time.

And I think Sheridan is a flat-track bully who won't like it if things get tough - he enjoys playing Australia, but so does every prop. Hayes looks like Tarzan but plays like Jane and Vickery is yesterday's man. "The Beast" isn't actually that good a scrummager - he's certainly not experienced - yet he wiped the floor with Vickery. He should have retired after the World Cup.

Optimistic, aren't I?

P.S. I'm not sure Roberts will be fit for the game. Then we're REALLY in trouble. Player of the tour?
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 6:03pm on 30 Jun 2009 ScarletIeu: I really hope you're right, mate, but I think the fight may have gone out of this squad. They're looking to get on that plane.

With those two props out, the Boks will probably edge the scrum, and without BOD's attacking prowess and defensive brain out wide, I don't think we'll finish within 15. And any more than 15 is - officially - a spanking. :-(

And I think Brussow is a good early tip for man of the match. The kid can play.
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 5:30pm on 30 Jun 2009 I think we're all agreed:

* Burger's actions were inexcusable and eight weeks is too light a sentence.
* De Villiers should be made to apologise for his pathetic defence of an indefensible act
* The Lions have lost the series. Live with it.
* While Geech is a great coach, some of his selections have been flawed.
* Without BOD and the two good props, we're going to get spanked on Saturday.
* If Ronan O'Gara never plays rugby again, it will be too soon.
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 1:43pm on 30 Jun 2009 "it's a hard game played by hard men..."

... and Ronan O'Gara.
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 1:36pm on 30 Jun 2009 O'Driscoll flying home as we speak. Maybe next time, he'll use his arms.

Great player, mind. Better than anything South Africa has ever produced.
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 10:20am on 30 Jun 2009 Flytaff: Wish I'd been here for that one! I have no respect for a guy who can't/won't tackle. And how one man could do so much damage to his own team in 10 minutes is mind-boggling.
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 10:13am on 30 Jun 2009 I tend to agree with the Bok fans who are moaning about our moaning. Why blame Burger (moronic actions aside), when we should be blaming McGeechan's selections (Vickery, Mears and Monye in the first Test, and O'Gara ahead of Hook on the bench in the second Test), and also O'Gara's 10 minutes of madness.

We're so busy slating the Springboks, we're ignoring our own deficiencies.
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 10:01am on 30 Jun 2009 "South Africa have earned areputation as ateam that plays dirty down the tywears and am not suprised by Burger'actions.

Remember James Labuschange in 2002 someone correct me with the spelling
He took out James Wilkingson with a high tackle and was red carded. Its apity Sooth Africa are defdking Burger'actions."

Mate, your English teacher should be shot.
