Kings vs Lions

[Alf W]

Anyone else watching this? Pretty brutal stuff so far.

Unfortunately there's no way to watch it in continental europe unless I buy a year's subscription to watch crappy jolty pictures on the web. The far sighted chaps running the game sold all the rights to TV channels that don't operate in Europe outside of Britain and Ireland, so I'm making do with the bbc website updates.

Another great opportunity to market the game lost.

What a shame. Lions tours are rugby’s greatest tradition and none of my Rugby mad Dutch clubmates will get a chance to see any of this.

3-3 O'Gara's slotted one. More of those please Ronan.

Makes pretty brutal reading so far.

Sounds like Hook's in pieces.

Van der Westhuyzen - That fella sounds like a bit of an Oaf!

Have been surprised at the lack of aggro in the games so far. I think the Lions have been admirably disciplined on tour so far. I expect there to be some fireworks on the weekend though. First test crucial imo as if the Lions lose it I don't see anyway back for them at altitude.

They're going to need the biggest, ugliest, hardest b@st@rd forwards they've got.
I'm surprised that O'Callaghan and Shaw are in the midweek side; they're exactly the kind of animals they need to face SA.

I rather hope O'Gara comes out of this game in one piece too because a top class kicker is unmissable.
