The Maori played @#$% well against the Aussies, but they had a near full-strength All-Black side. At least we're preparing against hardened opponents, the Lions are preparing against schoolboys. ------------------ |

OK Donut, the Queensland Reds are the first side that I would expect to test you. The big question will be, "How many Wallabies that normally play for the Reds will frony up on the night?". If it is a full strength Reds side (and I don't see why it wouldn't be), then I expect a close tussle. The Reds are the 2nd strongest (as a Queenslander I hate admitting that) provincial side in Australia behind the ACT Brumbies. I will be ashamed and embarassed if you beat a full strangth Reds side, let alone score more than 50 points (there you go, Davros lays it on the line as requested).
BTW, what off topic stuff are you talking about?????????????????? ------------------ |

Looks like Herbert will miss as well - take the three best Wallabies out ( ), and it looks like the Aussies are making sure they play their cards close to the chest. I still expect the Reds to triumph, it is the QLD in my blood. I think our next match in that "off topic" sport is tonight too

There is a certain synergy about a Lions tour. They become much greater than the sum of their parts. Usually the English, Irish, Scots and Welsh are at each others throats. During the tour there is an amazing coalescence which transforms ordinary men into a thing of extraordinary power and beauty. They become Lions - tooth and claw - and wallaby is their favourite meat! BTW if you want to talk about off topic sports let's forget about the pyjama game and discuss Iran. ------------------ Save Chip - Don't let Sarah win! Official Titterer of the Laughing Hyenas |

Who said anything about losing, mate? Our triumph will be all the sweeter.
Also, I'm looking forward to tonight's game in that "off-topic" sport. ------------------ |

Oh Donut ,
So you will put your money where your mouth is for the Lions versus the Reds - I think that is admirable of you to back the favourite for that contest. The big questions though, will be asked in the Test Matches, and in those your Lions will run into the full strength world champion Wallabies . Iran - oh, cast that into our faces again why don't you. Ah, I remember now, the weak link was the coaching, that's it, some Pommie fellow - Venables or something like that . The pyjama game starts soon - hmmmm do I stay up till late morning watching that, or instead, go to bed early, and get up at 5 am to watch the US Open Golf . Either way it's looking dodgy for being 100% at work tomorrow (when some industrial unrest may mean I have to get my hands dirty and pick up a hammer for a change). ------------------ |
