The Lions tour of New Zealand

Intersting so far. Maori game was a big wake up call, as was the first half of Saturday's game.

Suprised to see Henson dropped to the stiffs, reckon he will be back for the third test.

I went to the Southland game last night. What a game, what a night (well what I can remember of it.) A 26-16 victory to the British Lions over the 9th ranked team in NZ last year.
The Lions are going to the trashing of a lifetime in on Saturday in the first test. I just haven't seen anything about them that makes me think they have much chance. They just seem to be trouble doing the basics. Eg catching the ball.
I see Woodward has named Wilkinson at inside centre, with Jones at 1st five and Peel at halfback. My take is that he wants a smooth transtion from thr forwards to back so he's linked up Peel and Jones, just because of how often they've played together in the Welsh side.

Go the All Blacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They say you never beat the All Blacks, only score more points.

We shall see.Our group are delaying our tee off time from 8.30 a.m. on Saturday morning to 11, so we'll be sitting in the clubhouse, bacon sandwich in hand, cheering on the boys.

I predict Peel to have a big game.

You are looking in the wrong place.

J.Wilkinson ,purveyor of winning kicks, inside centre for the winners.


Have a look at the most important athlete thread, I'm introducing the Americans to cricket and rugby, it's a gas. If you can introduce great AllBlacks, Glen turner etc, they will be completly confused.

So the Lions picked the wrong team and played badly.

Cheap shot on ODriscoll ,the ref is clearly the only Frenchman sorry about Rainbow Warrior.

The All Blacks know the Lion line out codes better than the Lions do.

Well played All Blacks.

Man the lions were bad!
There's no way they're going to win a game against them if they play like that!

GO AB'S!!!!!!

Hey i just got home

All hail the almighty lion eating ALL BLACKS

What a game, well done McCaw, Umaga and co. Oh yeah and our 16th player, more commonly known as Shayne Burne. :nodsmiley O'Driscoll knew he was going to get thrashed so fakes an injury, Hill soon follows. Not to mention that big ugly looking locks look of disbelief when he's sent to bin. He deserved to tarred and feathered coming from that far offside.
Yes we know, we butchered a few trys, on purpose of course. We didn't want to humiliate Clive to much in the first test, we'll leave that to next week at The Caketin. Carter and Maguer in the midfield prove you can have 2 No10's play together, but only if there from the same country. Jack was my player of the day. He pinched lineout ball all day, walked off the field with a few tag marks on back **** Bit on the chilly side though.

Note# Anyone else notice Wilkinson only kicked 50%

I agree, he understood the Lions lineout calls better than Byrne. Mind you, I thought you were not allowed to bounce opposition out of the lineout ,he got away with it all day. Yet again All Blacks end a top player's tour and nothing happens.

The spear on O'Driscoll was a disgrace, and its Grewcock who gets suspended!

Grewcock deserved to get suspended, but the All Blacks were lucky to get way withe the spear,both should have been cited and suspended for rest of season. But everyone knows that's what happens in NZ (and South Africa)
