The biting is ridiculous. But Lions so maybe not totally unexpected?

Tackle technique is a critical skill. One would think it's fairly straight forward to see an attacking player, adjust tackle height accordingly, wrap arms and boom, legal tackle.

But these guys are shifting, changing direction stepping off either foot, handing off defenders and critically altering their angle of attack and height. It's very easy to get it wrong...
Thank you for explaining this to me.

Jeez I must not have watched a game in years as I don't recognise many of the SA players.

Well SA might be shit at many things but we're still the best at rugby.

And this despite not having had much game time and the players not had as much time to prepare as usual? Well done! I read that Kolbe scored a try.
