Lions Tour To Australia 2013

[superheavyrhun]

Nobody talking about the Lions so far. In case anyone could have possibly missed the fact that I was in Mexico....yes, Mexico, I've just got in a couple of hours ago, and going to watch the first three games back to back so I can get my body clock back to UK time too.

I'm hopeful it'll have a strong Welsh influence, and they really should batter the Baa-baas in the first game, and start with the skeleton of the team that will be in the first test. Back in a while.

Do you want me to ruin it by telling you all 3 scores?

ive got a good idea of the results anyway, my view on the first team is yhat owen farrell wont be there, while jutin tipuroc has teally put his hand up.

Yeah Sexton will start at Flyhalf.
Tipuric is a quality player and will probably start. But the backrow is full of quality options. Some really good players will miss out. On form it would probably be Warburton but as he's captain he has to play.
Centres are really hard to pick too, O'Driscoll, Davies, Roberts, Tuilagi. I think I'd go with Tuilagi to bash the holes an O'Driscoll to run through them.

North is nailed on to start, as is Halfpenny at Fullback.

Well, I had to take a 90 minute nap after watching the first game, but determined to stay awake into the second one.

I reckon the interesting positions will be 6, 7 and 8, and personally I'd like to put Warburton over to blind side flanker, while having Tipuric at 7 and Heaslip at 8. Has Johnny Wilkinson received his injury call-up yet? I don't think Gats would want to see Farrell going in as the main fly half support for the test series, he should have got yellow carded, had two kicks charged down and wasn't especially reliable kicking wise just in that first game.

Fuck this ,how was Mexico?

[superheavyrhun]

Well, my cunning plan to beat jet lag and watch all three lions games failed at half time during the second game, and now I have a fascinating problem called 5.30am. This is only really something I've ever dealt with after a night out before, or really bad insomnia, but I've already taken the bins out and checked my electric meter is still in credit.

I'll start going through some photos in a while.

Anyway @Andre are you going to any of the games? I know a couple of friends who emigrated to Perth saw the Western Force game, and are trying to justify the prices of flying over to the east coast for a test match. Do they come anywhere near you at all, or are you in a rugby league (cough, spit) or Ossie rules part of the country?
