Farage would have loved it.
Probably watching in the Falklands
They won that range war fair and square Bonesey.
More exocets than a Springbok ruck.

Awesome win for the Argies fantastic scalp for the South Americans
That Cordero try started by Albornoz inside his own 22 was next level
The local commentators were quite buoyant until the realisation that this game could be lost.
However I’m reluctant to write the Lions off based on a first hit out of
There were some brilliant running angles that opened up Los Puma but the last pass didn’t always find the right person in space
Line out will need work . -

The Lions looked average as fuck. So much for Northern Rugby being so much superior to Southern Rugby. 😂
Don't be an idiot. They were underdone and making crucial mistakes anytime they looked like scoring, just a cohesion thing. And who said that anyway?
Excuses

You are indeed correct.
The relentless march of time eh. -

Thought Smith had butchered that.. but well worked try and a couple of soft tackles
Me two forward passes in build up.

Pretty embarrassing as a ref when your 2 meters away looking straight at the ball and you miss that🤦♂️
Doleman did that last week when Reds shelled it as they went over. That time the TMO didn’t realise Doleman had cataracts, so failed to check.

In super rugby, foul play responsibility has been completely abdicated to the bunker too.
A default yellow and passing of buck to the TMO.

It sucks.

I thought James Doleman was below his best. Seemed to miss a bit and always had an advantage back for Lions when they infringed.
Are Fin Smith, Mitchell and Marcus Smith the front liners in backline?
Thought VDM and Freeman were always a threat. LCD was good in forwards.
But best thing in match was the flair in the Argentinian backs in my view.
