We don't seem to have a thread for the Lions Tour unless I'm a blind idiot (not ruling that one out though).

First warm up game against the Barbarians in Hong Kong today, coverage is on TalkSport regrettably, which means I've had to re-tune my radio to that station for the first time in forever.

Anyone else care about the egg chasing or is the lack of a thread illustrative of total disinterest?



Barbarians: Payne; Rokocoko, Daly, Laulala, Ngwenya; Evans, Yachvili; James, Brits, Castrogiovanni, Wentzel, Mumm, Manoa, S Jones, Parisse.

Replacements: Ghiraldini, D Jones, Lo Cicero, Hamilton, Harinordoquy, Fotuali'i, Hook, Tindall.

British and Irish Lions: Hogg; Cuthbert, Davies, Roberts, Maitland; Farrell, Phillips, Vunipola, Hibbard, A Jones, Gray, O'Connell, Lydiate, Tipuric, Faletau.

Replacements: T Youngs, Healy, Stevens, A Jones, Heaslip, Murray, Sexton, North.



That is one very intimidating front row for the Lions.

Schalk Brits just decked Owen Farrell for no apparent reason. They play for the same club. Sarries training could be fun at the start of the year.

Only a yellow, haha.

First test today, total apathy from the TEF or are we up early to watch a touch of Aussie smashing?

Fantastic try by the Aussies, great start to the game. perhaps this will be more of a test than the media have portrayed this to be.

George North puts the Lions in the lead and the TalkSport commentator makes a sticky mess all over his microphone. While Brian Moore refers to the Aussies as "shackle draggers". Delightful.

Oh is that what SD stands for, as he's using on twitter. As funny as a dose of the trots.

Great try by North.  Game on.

And another from North! Suddenly Kanye's baby name doesn't look half as fucking stupid!

...although the TMO is having a good old think about this. No try, tits.

Correct decision though, and the Lions knew it. Still 3 pts is a good return.

It's a bloody good thing they can't kick.

North, Folau, Genia and Halfpenny all playing fantastically but a little sloppy at the back from the Lions.

Folau's just sparked Berrick Barnes rather nastily.

If the Lions blow this I reckon they will lose the series 3-0.

Australia are under cooked & struggling with injuries yet are still managing to keep in this game.

Absolute bollocks Posh.  The Lions strength in depth should see them win one test at least. having  said that I expect them to win the series win or lose today.

Your comment there reminds me of the OTT kind of reaction from the media we're unfortunately used to these days.
