    You’re a true legend Phil. Lions tours mean such a lot to us Boks supporters. It was great to see you pick yourself up

    Such an insane tour. Blew my mind. The brutality of it. It's the best sporting event there is in my mind.

    I remember him getting schooled by the Beast, but I didn't ever think how that would have affected him. Poor chap

    So much respect for this man. Smashed in the first test, dominated by his opponent, whether or not some inept refereeing helped is moot. But to come back and put the shift in he did was glorious. It epitomises rugby.

    Lol! What’s this guy on about. Got absolutely manhandled in the scrums by a rookie beast. 3rd test the series was win and boks fielded a fringe squad to give everyone a go and he sees that as some great comeback? I suppose you’ll convince yourself of anything if it keeps the tears away.

    My only memory of Vickery in that tour was Beast ending his career. I can't remember any great comeback by Vickery.

      @@thewomble1509 Donno about that. I watched the whole series again a couple of weeks ago and at best Vickery held his own against Beast in the 3rd test... which is what an international prop should do. I think he bettered Beast in one scrum. But the way Vickery celebrated that performance speaks volumes about how he was bossed in the 1st test.

    Picking Mears and AWJ was a mistake. Shaw rightly came in for the second test and Mears was subbed off in the first. Vickery was abject but if he had a bigger lock and hooker it would have made a difference.

    Adam didn't have "insane bad luck". He was the victim of a typical cheap shot by Bakkies Botha. He knew exactly what he was doing when he went in with those shoulder charges on players (ask Australia).

    • @Siphamandla.Ngcobo
      @Siphamandla.Ngcobo 3 года назад

      Yeah, Bakkies knew very well that he needed to clear that log Adam Jones away from that ruck, and he did just that. An excellent job.
