Which is why that Jaque Fourie try is probably the greatest try of the decade. Everything hinged on him crashing through all the defenders.

@jasonshaun6657 3 роки тому

He actually didn’t expect the ball because he got poked in the eye inadvertently then went to the wing. Next thing he looked up and got the ball.

@MetYsJa 2 роки тому

if Jaque didnt score that try, we lost the series. Thats how big it was.

That 2nd test in 2009 was so good I had to download it to my laptop. The only game I'd put above it is the 2019 RWC final. Even as a South Africa fan, I'm grateful that the Lions are a part of rugby. 2021 tour is mouthwatering. Can't wait😊

Monumental series for S.A rugby as well. Can't wait for the up coming test. South Africa hasn't played a game of rugby since the world cup. It's going to be interesting.

"Its not the jersey you put on but the jersey you take off" is the PRIME example on what sets us South Africans, and Southern Hemisphere teamps apart from the northern hemisphere and why we have 4 world cup titles. In south africa, that green and gold is in our blood and DNA. That jersey NEVER COMES OFF on that pitch, blood and sweat is only and will always be for Mzansi. Anything else does not matter. 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆

I have watched this match a couple of times and also the BIL doccie, O Gara unfortunately made some average decisions and was playing for himself on that day.

It’s got nothing to do with his previous achievements. He’s won all sorts , a legend of the game and now managing a top team. His career doesn’t have any influence on my comment. I was watching the game and immediately said a final whistle he was awful and handed them the game. he came on and everything thing he did was shit in the form of decision making and execution. He probably did have a concussion…. He should have been taken off the pitch. But he played on . We would have been better with 14 men.
