British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa 2021

Dunno. He certainly didn't cover himself in glory. Itoje probably the next cab off the rank.

I think he probably is, but there’s been a lot of noise about Curry as next England captain. 3 lions starts and a World Cup final and only just 23 years old. Pity he’s not won many of those key matches.

Did the ref go to TMO for the grounding behind the live by SA? Ultimately I think that’s the decision that cost us the series.

Also think Liam was shit, btw. The failure to pass to Adams was inexcusable.

Agree, that was probably the series gone there, a butchered 2 on 1, he was wobbly under the high ball too. Felt Adams put himself about really well although I kept confusing him with Conan.

2 tries in 3 matches, only off lineout mauls is dismal.

Only thing I could think is that Adams had either over run him or he thought he had. Camera was inconclusive but it's otherwise inexplicable

Hoggy would have passed

Yes. Liam brought no more stability under the high ball either. He was very poor.

Let's be honest, it has been a shit tour for all sorts of reasons. Not even one for the purists. Rugby has been the loser without doubt.

Have to agree. Please no more Gatland coached teams.

I feel sorry for those players who will only end up going on this tour.
