In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Mmmmmm, not sure about that, looks like no try.
Downward pressure but no control?
deliberate knock on, yellow card, penalty try to the lions for me.
Huh??
On field decision is try mind you. If its no clear evidence it is going to be given.
He's given it and it's not entirely clear. I thought he lost control of the ball for a second but too tight to disallow.
we need something to bring us back into the game.
Tight but don't agree with ref rationale.
Would be good to show two angles side by side.
Definitely gets a palm on it but don't think he has that when ball touches floor. Downward pressure is by arm but don't see control at that point.. but v tight and onfield is try so couldn't see overturned

De Klerk might miss next week with that injury, will be big.
Never thought about this before but showing two angles on a split screen would be really useful for decisions like that last one. Make it much clearer
Ref doing everything bar saying "you're time wasting" 
SA have killed them in the 2nd half
South Africa totally on top now.
The Lions will need to respond sharpish or it's game over.

Great kick from the side he has missed 2 from already.
They've played really well .. Lions have been average from before HT, shit since.
Stopped making the good decisions they made in first 30 and stupid penalties.
Gatland better change the fecking team THIS time
This reminds me of the world cup final, constantly feels like a penalty is coming.
Total dominance in the second half. Been a brilliant performance, and a great response after the disappointment of last week. Sets it up for a great decider.
Changes need to be made for 3rd test. Josh Adams and Liam Williams to come in.
How are they happy with that? It wasn't a tackle.
Clean as Man City's accounting that.
1-1 then, going to be a cracking final game.
I had tickets for the first and third tests, feck covid

Faletau as well. The Lions need to play some rugby.
Darn, that sucks. Hopefully they win it to ease the sting.1-1 then, going to be a cracking final game.

Excellent game. What a second half from SA, almost perfect response. That maul though
Awful. Well played SA.
Selection shit, bench shit, tactics shit
Needed to run it more ... If you're going to hoof it, play Liam Williams. Never mind he's a better FB and can cover wings.
Josh Adams scored loads of tries, dropped.
Conan over Faletau?
Roll on Third Test.

The Lions will need to create try opportunities next game. Pretty poor show that there wasn't even one that got away from what I remember.
Yeah similar to how they took the World Cup Final away from England in that second half
Whens the citing committee?
Could be a few (Itoje, Hogg (if social media is to be believed), Faf) but expecting none. And expecting nothing to be done on Erasmus video either

I wouldn’t be surprised if itoje got done it’s a bad look to be kneeling on someone’s knack no mind doing it a second time and the play acting following it would have got Owens shouting at him it’s not soccerWhens the citing committee?

Like last week, not a game that will live long in the memory bank but that won't matter for the team that won. The Bok 'bomb squad' came to the fore this week which didn't happen a week ago. Lood De Jager and Vincent Koch were crucial.
I think Gatland needs to consider having Farrell start at 12 or maybe putting Finn Russell in at flyhalf. Neither will happen because Gatland is a conservative coach. He might be advised to consider who can start in place of Itoje who might be in a spot of bother.

New Zealanders can be pretty fussy over the style of rugby their team plays. Gatland's teams don't play rugby the way Kiwis want the game to be player. He's a Kiwi coach by birth but not by nature. Sure Ian Foster isn't everybody's cup of tea over there but Gatland isn't seen as their solution either if Foster gets sacked. Scott Robertson on the other hand....
One Kiwi has asked if Gatland is New Zealand's best ever coach: https://www.rugbypass.com/news/its-time-to-debate-whether-gatland-is-new-zealands-best-ever-coach/
Regarding Hogg the slo mo video I've seen doesn't look great but slo mo generally makes things look worse. Itjoe might be in a spot of bother. I think World Rugby will throw the book at Rassie Erasmus though even if it's just to make a statement.Whens the citing committee?

Williams left out has been a strange one maybe he's carrying something?
Le Roux hasn’t made any claims right? Until he does then it’s a non-discussion surely
On field decision was no bite and no conclusive evidence he bit him is there? Easy decision.
Certainly suspicious. Hard to tell if he bit him but he's certainly moved his mouth very close to the arm for no good reason.
Anyone got a clip of the alleged bite by sinckler?
No footage that I could find. Apparently it was at the bottom of a ruck so I have no idea how they could even see that. Weird that this is the citing while there were so many others that needed checking.

Apparently at 64:41 but you literally can't see anything.

A comment from the replies says "About a minute later you can hear the mics pick up Ben O' Keeffe saying, "Siya, I understand what Franco said but I can't do anything about that right now. If there is anything, it will be dealt with after the game if we need to."
