If there's one thing the Lions have done well this season it's play for the full 80. Conditioning has been outstanding.

Seems as if Refree Jaco Peyper is almost unhappy with awarding that try.

Has a booky been handed a cousin of Peyper some money?

Damnit Kriel deserves a bok jersey

Was just having that conversation on Twitter.

Was pointed out that the sad part is Pierre Spies will go to the World Cup ahead of him.

Personally I feel the player most deserving is Warren Whiteley.

No player has been more consistent, versatile and influential. Especially on defence.

For me he is the modern day version of Juan Smith.

Of course, whiteley defebds like a demon. So does someone like Franco Mostert.

Rugby is a stupid game ... within a modern sociological context (with sub-sections of physiological and psychological results).

Economics and finance and to a certain extent, just plain pure barbaric entertainment, is over-riding sentiments like mine.

Yet I ... as well as you ... love it.

Did they not tighten up these tackles this year? Could've sworn the year started with that being a red. Or am I confusing it with something else?

Rugby players can be such dummies sometimes.

+1 to Kriel and Whiteley deserving Bok jerseys. Wonderful players.

Faffie makes some nice breaks, but he must keep his boot away from the ball. I'm sure he has the most charge-downs in the season. Half his kicks come off badly.

Where is Pittbull now?

Lions certainly showing all the teams what running rugby is.

Add to that some amazing defence and you have yourself rugby porn.
