See , that's what I mean about the Lions [ & their supporters,] they don't play fair. :( :D Revenge is a dish best eaten cold, but the Wallabies will have the memory of defeating England 76-0 , a few years back, to keep them warm. Also 8 of the Lions starting team that played in the 3-0 Welsh defeat last year , will have the extra weight of a monkey on their back to cope with. I think the only Scots player is Jock Maitland, from that Scottish provincial side, the Crusaders, on the bench.

I believe dominating the set plays will be very important. The Wallabies should win the lineout battle, but the scrums? we will see. Also field position, field position, field position. We must play them in their own half, any penalties to the Lions in our own half, almost a gift 3 points. This is where the Lions choice of referees comes into their own. One of the refs chosen [ the Sth. African, I think] blew a world record number of penalties during a 6 nation match [ Scot. V England, I think] How they ref the breakdown could determine the eventual winner. That would be a pity, let's hope the Ref. doesn't have a huge influence on the result. I still have concerns over the Wallabies match fitness, and it is raining in Brisbane , but, BRING IT ON ! yahoo! Bob

That rain may play a big part. Remember the atrocious conditions of the Scotland game in Newcastle lat year? The NH teams are more used to playing in those kind of conditions.

We shall see. ;)

Unless those Welsh heathens employ the Druids to cast a rain spell, all should be good. Bob

Anyone else out there baracking for the Lions?
Or am I Billy-no-mates again? :eek:

Well , last night , with the Wife working, the prodigal son out on the prowl, and the daughter sleeping at home whilst the future son-in-law went to Ballymore to watch the Wallabies/Lions legends game [ daughter finally has one with the right priorities, diesel mechanic looking for his first Disco, and Rugby man, ] I made a favourite dish, mince with everything in, anything from the garden, plus the pantry. Tonight it becomes......WALLABY PASTIES!!!! With a dash of curry [ what the Lions will get tonight], and formed into small hand sized pasties, [ the other hand is for beer] the stage is set. The game is afoot, Watson, the enemy at hand. Time to gird the loins , fill the palm with beer, and repeat after me..... AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE.....you know the rest of that horrible native chant, Bob

No, you're not on your own :D

Heard on the radio today there's 30000 lions supporters descending on the game tonight so I guess you're by no means alone. I wouldn't go against the Wallabies but if they are belted tonight it may be the catalyst for certain changes that'd be in the "national interest". I'll be happy to see a good try scoring game, not some poofy penalty shootout.

You see, there you go with your mediocre Wallaby way of thinking Bob. A real pasty, like they make in the South West where I was born, should be so large that you're not sure whether you should eat it or sleep on it.

Quality over quantity, Moriarty, quality over quantity, where you come from the pasties were eaten in the dark depths, we have seen the light of running Rugby , and our consecrated players, as pure as the driven snow, must surely win out over the Dark Beasts from the North. Bob
