Well worked move but needed a very lucky bounce to finish it off.

Ireland 106 Portugal 7... They were the blue eyed boys at the 2023 RWC. Their rugby has regressed significantly since then.

I'm referring to Portugal btw

I missed the game, sadly. We watched a really one-sided Wimbledon final in Ladies this afternoon ... in muted silence. We had a good friend around for coffee for the precise duration of the tennis.

Given the quality of the tennis, I think that I would have preferred watching a kak game of rugby this evening (in silence, nogal!).

I was keeping one eye on the tennis. It wasn't much of a contest but you've got to give it to Iga - that was top quality from her.

The sharks play the lions/stormers like 5 times a year in URC and Currie cup. But as speedster alluded too, Shakes have signed him for next season. Big loss for the Lions...

Should have added 'some' Sharks games, my bad. Think I only managed to catch 3 Sharks games and 1 each Bulls and WP game in the last CC

Last minute try for England.

Fascinating game. England fully deserving of the win. Tina couldn't get out their own half in the 2nd 40. Played way too much rugby from their own 22.

Lions game

I'm sure it will all change when the test matches start but, hell man, this series has failed to captivate so far. For me anyway...

Great to see a full house last night here in PE but the stadium really needs to sort out their lights.

Hundreds of fans headed to the Boardwalk to watch the test.

Boardwalk did not pay their DsTV account!!!!!

I just imagine Rassie coming up with the midfield lift/maul after a couple of brandies calling Jaco Peyper at 2am to ask if its possible haha.

Yip, PRG U14 side did it first.. I'd imagine the team and coaches got a massive kick out of seeing the Boks do it though???

Could have been... Rassie refers to it being the 14B, in his post match presser.

Hi all, did anyone have issues watching the rugby on SABC 2 i.e not on. I just got some rubbish 80/90 tv show
I did manage to watch it by some other means.
