    Kicks off at 5pm on Sky Sports, Lions could seal an historic series win today. Anyone else going to be watching?

    I will (maybe on catch up without knowing the score).

    Last weeks was nail biting. Love watching the lions and have done since 1997.

    I used to watch the odd England game but never really took much interest in the rugby until the last WC, now I can’t get enough. Started following Wasps (closest club to me) and love watching England. This is the first Lions tour I’ve ever watched, it’s been enthralling but lacking somewhat without the fans.

    Nothing more tense than watching International Rugby. Absolutely love it. Big test today though, I reckon the Boks will come back hard!

    I think the first 20 minutes today are going to be absolutely brutal.

    That second half was awful. Fast forwarded through most of it. First half was brutal.

    What annoyed me was Will Greenwoods commentary. He was getting right on my tits.

    Very very disappointed with that second half, have to say though that I thought the officiating was atrocious. Not sure how Kolbe wasn’t red carded in the first half.

    Better team won on the day. I bloody hate South Africa.

    Taking out in the air when the player lands dangerously, as Murray did, is nearly always a red. Bottled it.

    He was. And he went into a tackle with his head a few minutes earlier catching our fella in the face. Anyhow makes it exciting next week for after we thrash Wigan.
