Lions scrum inside the Sharks half
This game shows why rugby is losing viewers. The officials have already decided the lions must win. A penalty for touching the shoulder with the ref saying intent to tackle high? With the yellow card the tmo went looking for a penalty. You can clearly see he thought the tackle was high it wasn't then he went to a maul.

line out Lions, they gather and look to go wide but knock the ball on inside the Sharks half

Lions get the second half underway
I thought rugby was a hard game until now, some of these decisions are pathetic- mind you the officials seem to only be watching for transgressions by the Sharks
To change the outcome of a well played match just because of stupid over emphasised rules is ridiculous.
Rugby used to be hard as nails, best they get their ballet shoes out in the second half!
