British & Irish Lions Rugby - South Africa 2009

[###KILTEDKIWI###]

We are currently embroiled in the super 14 at the moment, and I have to say, the yarpies have certainly bulked up, so it should be an interesting tour.

Good news is that the Kiwi and Aussie teams have been battering hell out of them during the S14 and they have loads of injuries, so that helps you, bad news is that the remainder are all match hardened and fit...

And there is a token Kiwi in there (Flutey - only one to play against and for the Lions by the sounds of it.)

I really hope the Lions can make a great start to this tour and give them a drubbing (3 - 0 whitewash), that would be grand to see.

Will be some great rugby anyway.

Well it's finally upon us and I'm so excited! Couldn't see this Saturdays match as I was at a Stag Party but I'm glad to hear the Lions didn't walk over the opposition cause I think it's better to learn how to improve and to do so - rather than be complacent and possibly not realise how to get better. Afterall no-one said that this tour would be easy - especially with what happened in the Super XIV!

Co-incidentally it's the Lions and the rugby ethos that's, for me anyway, really reflected on the latest events in the team GB football saga and shown how shallow, money driven and politics impeeded soccer has become.
