AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE…. 🙂
Go Oz Go!
Good luck to our SH boys.
OK, I want the Lions to win this one… and the Series…
Wallabies must be devastated by the time The Rugby Championship comes around!
2 @ grootblousmile:
Support our SH boys man, why support the boys from up north?
Is it far too late to join RT bru for the BIL/Oz games? If not give me the code so I can join up quick. I know I have missed a few of the warm up games.
Probably too late to join. I would have had Oz by 4 or 7 for this game.
Moer hulle Ozzie!! Ek sal nooit British Lions ondersteun nie, Skotland wel….maar norrefok die Poms gekombineerd.
@ Puma:
I have Oz by 2…
Usually, I would support the Ozzies but for this tour I am backing the Lions for various reasons, one of them being that the Boks’ record is starting to suffer in comparison to the Wobblies. Another is that the Lions team is not dominated by pommies, so go LIONS! Moer the Wobblies sommer stukkend!
5 @ Pietman:
I am with you Piet. Rather support our SH boys than the boys from up north.
I would join but have no idea of the code. Asked gbs, but he must have wondered off. Think it is too late to join anyhow now. Would have gone with Oz by 4 or 7. Hope they belt them Lions……… 🙂 🙂
7 @ The_Young_Turk:
I love Australia. When I have been over there have always been treated really well by the Aussies. So will support them.
Now if the Lions were mostly Scots, I would most then definitely have supported them. This is almost a Welsh team. So nah, go Aussie! 😛
8 @ Puma:
Already 6 of 10 games into this SuperBru pool competition for the Lions matches, because it also includes the midweek games… so I guess you’re about 6 games late…. hehehe
10 @ grootblousmile:
Yip thought I was a bit late to join. Anyhow Oz by 4 today…. 😛
@ Puma:
Well then it’s Smiles and I vs you and Peterman!
Whenever the Lions play anyone other than the Boks, I will always support the Lions. I have been looking forward to this series since the culmination of the SA series. This for me is the greatest rugby event. Knocks the WC into touch. GOOOOOOOOO LIONS!!!!!!!
ek back die leeue hier hart siel en pniel een van die laaste rugby tradiesies wat nog nie deur profesionalityd op gedonner is nie
I choose the Lions, because the 1st Test I ever saw live was those fabulous Lions of 1974… it was the Test at Loftus. So, I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for them, since Willie John McBride’s days… JJ Williams, JPR Williams, Gareth Edwards, Mighty Mouse McLauchlan…. those boys, who showed the Spirngboks such a massive toffee.
… and of course I don’t like the Ozzmob….
Lions out on the pitch
13 @ Just For Kicks:
I feel the same. This is far better than the WC. So wish they toured more than every 4 years. Was brilliant when they were here.
Look it is understandable you supporting them living in the UK and all. Us in the SH will support the boys from the south…. 😛
Wallabies also out on the pitch
Anthems…
Australia Fair up 1st
No anthem for the Lions… WTF!
Couldn’t be better, I have my pint of english bitter resting comfortably on a Fosters place mat, right where it should be!!!!
Game ON!
And it’s under wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
komaan julle souties
Christian Lealiifano down, out cold
Big knock for Lealilifano
24 @ smallies:
Smalpielletjies… dis ek en jy en Kickers en Gobbles… teen 2 Oompies…. hehehe
@ grootblousmile:

Stretcher on… eish, not good
Very sad start for him
