I turned if off in the first minute!

SA almost got a third try, then Lebanon counter-attacked and scored.

10-38.

Streams playing up :crazy:

16-50. Well done South Africa for playing until the final whistle and snatching that last try!

Bravo Lebanon! I wonder if Farah, Mannah etc. will now jump on board for WC2017?

With all the problems with the streams ,I got to wondering if it would have made more sense to play this game in Sydney as a double header with the Pacific qualifier and promote the hell out of it and get some professional TV coverage which could have then been relayed around the world.Im sure the SA lads would have given up home advantage to play in front of a decent crowd and to get to travel.

You can relay a professional image around the world but that doesn't mean anyone will watch it. Home test matches are vitally important to the local leagues, we need more of them, not less.

Well said Miguel

Hope a bulk of the players who got Lebanon into the WC are able to actually play at the tournament and aren't replaced by heritage players.

I hate to break it to you, but only only 1-2 domestic players played in these last two matches.

Yeah you're right.I was just frustrated watching the stream.My hope is Lebanon pick at least 5-6 homegrown players in their squad,as this will be the side the RU loving media will go after.

Places like Lebanon need to play games as Residents v Heritage players as their national selection trials. To allow resident players an apportunity

Ah. I hadn't looked at team lists or anything. Well, 2 domestic players is a start.
