Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

Saw highlights on S4C last night. Lions outclassed the Boks for most of the game and often outmuscled them.
Personally I feel this tour should have (could well have) been a 3 test win for the Lions. Very much an "if only..." tour.   

Yet again, yesterdays game had some strange refereeing decisions, two that should have resulted in a S.A sin binning at the very least, and after several viewings of Simon Shaws knee-drop on S.A scrum-half Fourie du Preez, there was not much he could have done to avoid the contact and a bit unfair in being cited for it.

How any match official could ignore the incident where Martin Williams was picked up out of a ruck by the back of his shirt, carried a few feet and slammed to the ground, is beyond me.

I thought the Boks had changed, but there is still that underlying arrogant, uber-all attitude and if they aren't winning through better play, they will resort to thugish tactics.
The unbeleivable thing is, match officials seem to miss/ignore this. :-? 
(I know it's wrong, but it's S.A attitude they're dealing with...Lions should have called a "99")
They won the series 2-1, but loosing yesterday by the biggest margin of the series, will have hurt. (Good !! ::))
