J.J Sexton to Captain

Sir Bill Beaumont. A richly deserved knighthood for the 1980 British Lions captain to South Africa. That’ll really throw down the gauntlet to the class of 2021.

Could I recommend Clem Thomas and his definitive history of the British Lions. That’ll get your rugby education up to speed on the British Lions. Any rugby man worth his salt needs to be well versed on the British Lions.

Thankfully we weeded out the miscreant that threw the banana and he’s already been prosecuted. I believe it was only one so called ‘fan’ and not fans. That’s the template for the scummy soccer crowd to deal with racism. What made you throw in your lot (intermittently) with the Yid Army again?
