If you've never seen them the Kevin Smith youtube videos entitled Superman Lives, part 1/2 and part 2/2 are well worth a watch

ETA - if you're at work the audio has a fair chunk of swearing in it

A third and deciding test match on a Lions tour has taken second place to Kevin Smith movies. Thanks Gatland.

If the score is close then I’d be amazed if Russell is brought on. He is there for is the Lions are losing by more than a score with 15 to go and we need some Hail Mary plays.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was better than either of the tests so far and that's a loooowwwwwwww bar.

Anyway, what else are we gonna discuss now that Rassie has decided (perhaps) to shut his piehole this week? :)

Ah, 13, the Ray Winstone and Jason Statham classic.

I should apologise for the tautology, clearly all Statham movies are classics!

Why did they make Hogg's skin look so bad in a skincare advert? He looks like a divorced 40+ getting back in the game.

Have gone to the pub to watch the game for the first time this tour. 10 minutes in and regretting not staying at home with the kids! It's so slow...

Russell on early. This should be interesting.

3 - 0 it is.
No Biggar or Fazlet for kicky comfort - need to play a bit for sure.

I loved Greenwood so much as a player, I wish he wasn't such an atrocious pundit. Russell on means either winning by 20 or losing by 20. It sounds like somebody who's never watched a game and just read forums like this.

Lions aren't doing much to speed things up. Free-kick at a lineout, leisurely discussion before going for a scrum that takes ages to set before going down and another interminable reset. Now a penalty and South Africa will have another minute to rest while we kick for goal. Hardly upping the pace and running them off their feet.

Like last week it started off with some promise but seems to have quickly dissipated after some big SA contacts.

We played the ball quickly and flat for 5-6 phases and suddenly Russell was opening up the SA defence at will. Gotta be the blueprint for the rest of our game.

Jasper Wiese's having some huge impacts in defence though.
