Lions causing a lot of their own problems here.

A couple of huge plays from Itoje have been crucial. Eliot Daly giving a few pens away.

[RichC]

Daly looks well below the level required at centre certainly here anyway

[Buzzo]

Hogg under the high ball is a concern

Yeah SA winning the arial battle so far. But the pens are more worrying.

Daly looks well below the level required at centre certainly here anyway

He’s a skilful player but lacks a bit of grunt. And discipline.

Lions need to get a bit of control.

[Buzzo]

SA line speed in incredible.

[RichC]

Their defence is immense. Our centres are not in the game. Daly with silly mistakes and Henshaw invisible

[Buzzo]

Yeah that’s the first decent passage from the Lions there. But yeah centres aren’t making any ground at all.

[Buzzo]

Need to take those…

[Buzzo]

Henshaw had to play Price in there. Great tackle.

[Buzzo]

I don’t think there is much in this. Lions have made errors at key moments. SA have been pretty flawless.

[Buzzo]

Henshaw had to play Price in there. Great tackle.

Or VDM or Watson other side.

[Buzzo]

Biggar has been **** also. His kicks for touch go about 15ms. Missed a very getable pen.

Doesn’t offer much as a playmaker, can see why Russell and Smith are options.

[Buzzo]

Much better start and kick to touch!

[RichC]

Proper power there

[Buzzo]

Awesome start

Great maul.
