To be fair this hasn’t been a classic series with most of the excitement happening off the field between the various team management and the match officials.
What I found particularly revealing was the reaction of each match day referee in not wanting to trust his own judgment and training but instead passing responsibility for almost every decision to the TMO.
Even going into the Third Test there were efforts by both team managements to influence and coerce the match officials into believing it was the other side that were using gamesmanship to stop the opposition from playing.
Warren Gatland has accused the South Africans of deliberately trying to slow the game down and stop the Lions from playing the open fast, a free-flowing game they played in their early warm-up games.
The false idea was that the Lions arrived in South Africa with a game plan of high-speed open rugby to exploit the skills they have in the backline. We have not seen it.
