Do the British Lions sing an anthem before each game and if so, what is it ?

Powerful stuff
Not an anthem per se, they just do a medley of Abide With Me, Jerusalem and Rule Britannia instead. Inspiration stuff.
Some interesting prices here - Powers made a mess up over some of their pricing for the All Stars and I think there might be one or two pieces of value here. Thereās always 1 or 2 places thatāll throw up a surprise and usually one high profile name will get injured.
Josh lewsey at 20/1 for a bit of fun.

Celeb spot alert! Celeb spot alert! Celeb spot alert! Celeb spot alert!
Anybody hear Shaun Edwards on Newstalk last night about 8.30. Sounded liek a bit of a cnut. Got mega defensive when Gallands remarks from the previous week were mentioned.
Gwan the Geech, fook out Gatty and bring Deccie instead.
#12 is a position that could be interesting.
Plenty of candidates.
Iād play Shanklin.
Yea Shanks would be my 12 also.
Thereās a lot that can happen between now and the tour.
Wouldnāt have shanklin at 12, he is far more comfortable at 13ā¦Reckon that Jamie Roberts could well get the 12 jersey, Geech will want a crash ball man to partner BOD, to match the physicality of the springboksā¦Wallace will get the 7 shirt over martyn williams due to this as welā¦l
[quote=āThe Pukeā]Wilkinson should not go, both for his sake and the British lions sakeā¦Got injured again last week just as he was about to make another comebackā¦With the current South African back row running at him it couyld well end his career
Johnny is as well off to go to France for a serious wedge and just try and play rugby and not bother trying to get back in th England side til he is good and readyā¦[/quote]
Where ever JW should go France is not it, he would be flogged to death. All jokes aside, I think Leinster should make a move for him. He could go no where else that he would be allowed play less games, and it would be some learning curve for Sexton
not saying they will start but they are a bit of value
Hayes- 16/1
Strokosh 16/1, would need an injury or two to others but the scots are good tourists
Kearney 8-1 wing
Peel 16/1

Thought Delon Armitage at 6/1 to start at fullback is good enough
I reckon that Ben Foden of Northhampton could be an outsider that makes the touring partyā¦Blistering pace and is a superb runner with ball in hand and can play both full back and scrum half
Think this might happen as well. I may not go for that myself, but i think they might do it.
They won the last time with Guscott at 12 though.
Are you Stephen Jones in disguise?
Foden might travel, but wont start a test thats for sure. 15 has to be Lee Byrnes, heās been unlucky with injuries as opposed to injury prone.
