Oh, and as a last aside, Ugo Monye will have had as many Lions test starts as Shane Williams, and one more than Martyn Williams.
If you don't think that is a fucking farce, then you probably reckon that The Rt. Honourable Twat for somewhereorother's bill for duck waterproofing is a legitimate and wholly justified claim.

I will remember this always
Monye having more test starts than M Williams is a joke, such a shame that he is finally getting a start in what is effectively a 'nothing' match surrounded by what is at best the second string side.

Just looked at the subs' bench. Looks like Croft is out because he can't do the work of a proper six. They need a grafter to do the work that allows the other backrow disappearing act, Heaslip, to be vaguely effective.
BELATED HELLO!
And that now they have recognised that, Martyn has been installed for his first ever test start at seven alongside somebody roughly approximating a proper six.
BELATED FUCKING HELLO!
And now they're compounding that by putting a player with all the dynamism of a fucking sun-hardened cow turd at six rather than the player who they have consistently picked at seven, who has obviously not been able to do the job properly.
I truly hope that the current Wales coaching staff are distanced from this, as I fear the worst. Imbeciles!
Yes, I am pissed.

Ahh, fuggit, I'll double it - just not sure how to actually make the payment.
A pyrrhic victory, though, no?

Your damn right. I'd have much rather lost the bet and been going into this last test at 1-1 with a full quota of players
Btw - I do reckon Croft is unlucky to have been completely dropped, ok a 'six' he may not be, but he's a class player who has had a really good tour on the whole
1927
Funnier than he thinks he is.
Shane has been shafted on this tour, and think as he deserved better. In the warm up games he was either poicked at 11 outside Earles, or when he did get to play outside the test centres he was played at 14. I have a hunch he may well announce retirement from international rugby when he gets back if Gats has had anything to do with this!

Croft disappeared completely in the second test along with Heaslip. Poor old Wallace was trying to carry both of them. He relied entirely on the fact that Gethin Jenkins, the freak of nature, is a prop and a blindside rolled into one. As soon as Melon went off, our inadequacies in that area were exposed. Croft is a great player, but he totally unbalanced that backrow. It's a shame that the coaching team have only now realised that fact. Croft's scoring two tries in the first test made him undroppable, I suppose, but he brought fuck all to the table in terms of what a six should be doing in either test.

penalty on the 5 metre line when you're 13 points up with 9 minute on the clock
go for 7 rather than 3
go for 7 rather than 3
Nah. Size needed in the centres, that was our big problem last week. Not a bad call.
I am loving this. Springboks rattled, throwing silly penalties, lashing out. Could not have scripted it better.
