Lets talk professional fouls 2 in the first half when we where about to score tackling without the ball, I can sympathise with you on O'Driscoll but that's high level sports you don't see half of what goes on in the scrums and at ruck time.
Still even without O'Driscoll the Lions should have been able to regain their composure it's a media ploy from Clive to take the heat off him, if they quit it will make a mockery of the Lions I doubt it will happen.

Maybe when you see it you will change your mind a little, it was a full on spear tackle and ended the guys tour. He got to captain the Lions test team for around a minute; shame.
As far as proffessional fouls go, I agree that O'Connell (I think) hit the guy from an offside position, but he was sin binned for it so there is no comparison and Grewcock got kicked off the tour!
It is rugby though, and I'm sure any talk of them coming home early is just that. Let's hope they can step up this weekend and make a game of it.
