    Never felt more like singing the blues,
    Rangers win and the saffers lose

    And a late Farrell penalty clinches it, great comeback win against the world champions...

    Watched it in the pub on my phone with my Rugby loving pal - no idea what was going on, but he was well chuffed

    Feisty start with ref issuing a warning to both captains inside 3 minutes...

    This must be the longest game of rugby ever!!!
    Started at 5pm and still 25 minutes left at nearly 640pm!!!!
    So many stoppages.
    So intense!

    Dinner keeps being switched off and the wine bottle is nearly empty!!

    Erasmus's comments about the officials has borne fruit.
    That wasn't grounded, but they award a try.

    SA bossed the 2nd half, Lions never looked like getting back into it after Biggar's penalty hit the post...

    Great start from the Lions after Biggar's early injury, 10-3...

    Can't help fearing that the Lions needed to capitalise more on their first half dominance.
    SA look more in it second half.
    Could be very close.

    Springbocks taking charge.
    13-10.
    Multiple mistakes from very nervy looking Lions players.

    Last minute penalty wins it for SA.
    Springbocks so resilient.

    Lions pay for not piling on the points in the first half.
