Here’s a quote and a half from Steven Howard at the Sun:
SO, no change then in South African rugby.
First soften the tourists up in midweek and then lay ‘em out on Saturday.
Only one thing is certain in the sport.
The South African caveman always reverts to type.
Way to write off an entire country on the grounds of the nasty challenges and illegal actions of a handful of rugby players in two games, Steve.
Shame you missed Andy Sheridan’s fist meeting Andreas Bekker’s crotch in the Second Test:
Yep, Schalk Burger’s challenge was indefensible. And the Lions have had some bruising midweek games. That, you may be astonished to learn, does not mean that ‘the South African caveman [not a phrase we were familiar with, either] always reverts to type’ is ‘the one certain thing in the sport’. We’d suggest sticking to football, but, well, y’know…
