Lions vs South Africa

[oracleslave]

Me too - well impressed!

As for the lions.... I hope we win, OS will be insufferable if we lose

when

The Lions need more of those overrated oirish in the team and then I would put money on them losing

I can't stand the thought of listening to gloating Seth Efricans either. There are quite a few of them in Holland. I can hear it already; the crap about 'you bring 4 countries and you lose', 'our population is so much smaller and yet we win' (oh no, that's the Aussie whinge), 'northern hemisphere rugby is nothing compared to our amateur 5th team club rugby' and all that tosh.

Erm, one thing I would not call Paul O'Connell or Brian O'Driscoll is 'overrated'. Well not Paul O'Connell, anyway, not to his face.

Of course it's tosh. I mean why else would the Southern Hemisphere have won 5 out of the 6 world cups to date

OS - are you taking heed? You can just cut and paste this on Monday!

I love Paul O'Connell...

Well it's Ok but I think the refs need glasses cause they're always handballing. And they need to check the ball it looks like it's been run over by a bus.

I'm glad to see Crofty's in the test team, Ferris would have given him a good run for it though.

I thought Wallace would get the openside, the Lions give away enough penalties at the breakdown already, Williams for all his good work would probably guarantee another couple of penalties (like all good opensides)

I guess Wallace will be told to burn himself out and then Williams on for the last 20 to slow the game up if we're ahead.

Rest of the team look's a good in-form lineup as well.

That would be out of character. I just want to see a good game and don't really mind who wins

If the Lions win this series he will gain the status of that other great Irish second row; Willie John McBride. That is the hallowed status of 'never having to buy your own drinks in Britain or Ireland'. Quite an incentive for a forward.

<snip> he said 'just make one good tackle and you'll have done your job'. Apparently I had a couple of tackles and a couple of runs, <snip> Glad I did it though, even though I didn't get the call again.
