Lions Tour To Australia 2013

[superheavyrhun]

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?

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?

Im in the state where Aussie rules rules mate.

My sympathies. Watch some proper sport on your TV over the next few weeks. The only benefit of Aussie Rules is that, like the NFL, the world champions are always Australian.

Just watched the second half of the Western Force game, and a few stand out performances again. Tom Croft and Sean O'Brien put their hands up, but I though Geoff Parling did well when he came on, and once again Owen Farrell showing why he'll be playing the mid week games. Halfpenny is nailed on for full back both with his kicking and with Kearney out, while O'Driscoll was lively and Heaslip looked good when he came on.
