British & Irish Lions Tour

[VDL_Piper]

Well after a resounding thrashing of one of Australia’s provincial teams last week the Lions face off against another tonight in the QLD Reds, should be a good game tonight in a wonderful stadium. I’m not tipping a Reds victory but maybe we will start to unlock this Lions team and expose some cracks.

Doesn’t appear so. But the tests will be a different matter entirely. Always are. Nothing taken for granted. Australia will be better than expected. How much better is the obvious question. Lions looking good and improving.

Agree, Lions looking the goods so far. Few soft turnovers tonight from them but that won’t happen in the tests that’s for sure.

the lions look like a team still getting to know each other,some nice touches but mistakes.They will need to improve and I am sure they will.

So we’ll soon see what happens today. The Lions with a different centre pairing, and a Wallabies pack with Skelton and Valetini returning. Enjoy!

The legend. William James McBride CBE, better known as Willie John McBride (born 1940), from Northern Ireland who played as a lock for Ireland and the British and Irish Lions. He made 63 appearances for Ireland, including eleven as captain, and toured with the Lions five times; a record that earned him 17 Lions Test caps. He also captained one of the most successful Lions sides, which returned undefeated from South Africa in 1974.

Winner winner chicken dinner. Lions take the rubber. We will not hear the end of it.

I am very saddened that this was not about wild cats taking a holiday in the British isles like I thought it was. Though this is probably much safer for everyone.
