@@matthewburgess5070 no that’s how Saffers played it - it was a mind set - win at any costs the antithesis of ruby - hence culturally low - a sense born out of their apartheid regime - that everyone hates us - so we’ll do em at any cost
I seem to remember that the lions came up with the 99 call back in 74. You obviously havent met any nice South Africans thats a shame. They a fantastic team. 1997 the Lions deserved it. As for apartheid we all know it was terrible. Nothing to do with rugby tho imo
@@matthewburgess5070 why did the Lions come up with the 99 call ? because they were being brutalised off the ball and the officials were ignoring it - it was a necessity and self defence- you clearly know very little about rugby , and to answer you question honestly, no I have never met a Saffer I liked
@@danocinneide1885 you’re confused - the Lions isn’t about an English or Scottish national symbol- the Lion represents the tenacity and supposed ferocity of all the players as one cohesive unit on the pitch and the idea of putting aside national differences and achieving success
@@chrisbaxter3597 incorrect: "Lions" is a symbol of GB, and of the British Empire....it has nothing to do with Ireland, whose national symbol (among others) is the Wolfhound..
is there a full video of this game somewhere?
The pitch just says ouch
Shocking tackles by Saffers - late , round the throat - deliberate knees in after tries - low culture, low tactics
That was how rugby used to be played... Not sure where the low culture comment comes from?
Allways that one idiot

Surely it should be Ireland versus The British lions...?
What?
What are you talking about? - it is the British and Irish Lions
@@chrisbaxter3597 There is no such national symbol as irish "Lions"..that is strictly British..Irelands symbol (among others) ..= Wolfhounds...
