Been following test rugby since early 70’s. This Lions-SA Series is virtually identical to all previous Lions tours to South Africa:- An evenly matched, closely fought series consisting of hard, dour, attritional, engrossing rugby with a smattering of controversy and thugery. And the Bok’s winning the series in the last few mins of the final test…been there , done that…and a reasonably predicatable result before the series even started. Lions tours will continue because everyone values them highly, they are very profitable and even the best players with long careers from Aus, NZ, and SA may only play in a single Lions series. Theres something very special about a Lions tour, long may they continue.

Foster is going to be found out again, and very quickly. His selections are going to cost him his job , thankfully. With the exception of Ioane and maybe Reece, that backline is tiny and lacks impact defensively and the ability to get over the gain line in contact at test level. How terrified are opposition ball-carriers going to be, running at Smith, Mo,unga, Havili, ALB and McKenzie? The whole team lacks aggression on defence and is only suited for dry weather, open rugby against mediocre opposition. Some of the recent forward selections are questionable at best too, with heavy reliance on mobility over basic core skills. The Boks will have to play very poorly to lose to this lot. I can’t wait for the Foster show to end, and a proper coach installed (unlikely considering the current NZ rugby management team and their recent decisions)
