Gatland adds two more Lions to Jersey training camp

Two more players have been inducted into Warren Gatland’s British & Irish Lions training camp on Jersey, although there’s still no sign of Saracens’ Lion contingent.

England’s Kyle Sinckler and Tom Curry have been added after Bristol Bears and Sale Sharks were knocked out at the semi-final stage of the Gallagher Premiership. Meanwhile, Leinster and Ireland’s Ronan Kelleher will continue to train on the island in the absence of Jamie George and Luke Cowan-Dickie.

Saracens used all five of their Lions in their second-leg victory over Ealing Trailfinders today, a result that secures their return to the English top-flight after the summer. George, Elliot Daly, Maro Itoje, Owen Farrell and Mako Vunipola will join up with their new teammates shortly.

Eben Etzebeth staring at huge ban after another red card

Well… I'd say the modern Boks are not a particularly violent team but it's impossible to getaway with much violence on an international rugby field now. The Boks of yesteryear were at times brutal. Whether or not the reputation is justified, they do have that reputation amongst a lot of rugby fans.

As for point 2.. it's a tricky one, I don't want to slander a nation here. I'm no “Bok hater”, but I've gotta say some Bok fans are the most obnoxious fans I've personally encountered. Notably this didn't seem to be a problem until the Boks became the best in the world. I agree that fans from other nations can be awful too, every nation has it's fair share of d-heads but going on any rugby forum or YouTube comments is quite tedious these days owing to the legions of partisan Bok fans who jump onto every thread regardless of if it's about the Boks to tell everyone how much better the Boks are than everyone else. A Saffa once told me that SA is a troubled country and because of that the Boks are a symbol of SA victory against all odds so that's why the fans are so passionate. At least you recognise that there is an issue with some Bok fans, that's more than many are willing to concede. Whatever the reason, it's just boring is all I can tell you and I can say coming from a place of absolute honesty I encounter far, far more arrogance and obnoxious behaviour from Bok fans than any other fanbase - the kiwis were nothing like this when they were on top. So look much love to SA, I bear no hatred of ill will, I just want to have conversations about rugby without being told constantly that the Boks are the best team in the world and all coaches except Rassie are useless etc
