There’s all sorts of social complexes in there and very very little to do with the actual sport. They’re ranting away making the same tired jibes thinking they’re landing punches. Fair play to them - it’s some deep-seated anger they have to turn up regular as clockwork to go at it again each year

The one thing about rugby is 3 or 4 times a year it produces incredible games that even people with a passing interest will remember.
The last three European cup finals. The Ireland v New Zealand and the France v South Africa World Cup quarter finals would be examples.
No other sport really does that.

Crikey the 13 is 6 5. Some unit.
He won at least two kicks off did he get the tip back on them…he’s only barely 21
Joe is going to build something very special you sense.
The Aussies add so much. They are excellent wums.
They love a rangy centre who can play at ten too.
Lynaghs son could be a great if he fills out a bit
The Australians always have beautiful balance and feet.
Tend to be taller than the all blacks but far more agile the boks.
A beautiful blend.
Very random but James
O Connor has signed
With the crusaders.

You could have one guess and you’d get the most of them right.
Graham Henry in 2001 is the cautionary tale of how a British Lions sabbatical can destroy the day job.
