I’d say Australia doesn’t know what hit it. It’s a feeling they should get used to.
Sir Ian handing out the jerseys. Goosebumps.
Scott Quinnell and Jason Robinson standing shoulder to shoulder. Jason Robinson put it best ‘we’re all Loins’.
15 months after the start of this thread, it’s incredible to think we’re now just over ten minutes away.
Robbie:clap:
Great to see how this has united so many aficionados of the anti rugby thread. Only the Lions
Incredible massages of support for the boys from the celebrity and sporting fraternity.
Becks, Rors, Beefy, Keano, Rosey, Jess , Sir Chris, and Wills and Harry
I’ve had a full British Isles breakfast to sustain me for what will be an emotional late morning and early afternoon.
Tremendous camaraderie. Old scrum half adversaries, Nick Farr Jones and Robert Jones bring out the Tom Richards trophy and old differences in Brisbane seemingly forgotten.
Only on a British Lions tour.
Home Rule, Home Rule, Home Rule.
Some awkward scenes down at Kiely’s at the moment as a group of Australians have turned up - they misread the bar’s name as “Kylie’s” and thought it was an Australian supporters’ pub. But the chaps down there have decided to accommodate them all the same and you can be sure there’ll be pints and bants aplenty shared about the misunderstanding. That’s because rugby football people are more civilised and have a greater culture of respect than followers of inferior sports.
A sour note that the British anthem is not been played.
A perfect segue from “Advance Australia Fair” straight into a Eurodisco remix of Men At Work’s “Land Down Under”.
That looked very, very nasty for Christian Lealifiano.
53 seconds was all it took for the Christian to be devoured by the Loins.
BOD arguing with the referee!
These decisions against Brian O’Driscoll are a load of Pollocks.
Thankfully O’Connor is like a rabbit in the headlights so far.
Can’t believe O’Connor wasn’t pinged for a clear forward pass as well before that second penalty.
Sensational scrum from the pack.
Two terrible decisions against O’Driscoll. Especially the first one which was quite obviously a penalty for him
Nice that Ireland have a green hoop on the sock
