So everything is going swimmingly. It may yet prove that these early matches are some kind of fool's paradise, and it must never be forgotten that Australia's really big battleships have not yet sailed out of port. The likes of John Eales and George Gregan have been invisible to the tourists. However, the mood among the party is so positive that nobody wants to miss a second of the action. Enter, on Tuesday, a frustrated Dallaglio

Ha, thought I would cut out an excerpt from your link. As we all know now
, the mighty Lions were humbled by the Australia A combination. This was easily the strongest side that they have encountered thus far, and was always expected to be the biggest test outside of "the Tests" themselves. We actually for the first time, had participation from a few people who will be sitting on the benches for the Wallabies. I gather though, that they were up against a mostly "bench" combination from the Lions. I think the Lions tests should be "close fought" and exciting affairs
Well I hope they will be anyway, because that will make up for the lack of opposition when Steve Waugh's boys sweep the Ashes series again
