dogmc Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Just read on bbc website that there's a big scheme on the go for nz fans to 'adopt' lions fans due to lack of hotel accommodation during the tour. Can't imagine anything worse than being a lions fan, spunking thousands to see a gatland side being ragdolled for 50 or 60 points then have to sleep on the floor of a smug all black fans living room.....nice gesture tbf but I'd rather kip in a car park by the bins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I just did the flights, hotels and tickets, and had plenty of mates who live out there, because I could not have been fucked hanging out with all the wallopers on the trip. Apart from the people who had the seats next to me at the games. Hello Colin and Diane from York, hope you're both well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing tack just slightly...if Dante were to rewrite Inferno he'd surely have a 10th circle reserved for those who go on a cricket tour with the barmy army.

I tend to find that the Irish are reasonably good winners. It's when they lose that they become fucking unbearable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A meringue? Going to Australia to watch The Ashes is one of those life-time goals for me. I've only been to one away test match, which was Australia against India at the MCG and that was fantastic, but I would love to travel around Australia and watch England, sort of combine a great holiday with a good sporting event. The idea of being on one of those package tours though makes my skin crawl a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't really made an impact and with price horne n Pyrgos hart would have to be 4th choice at best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hart was rotten last few times he played. He seems like a good guy but 9 isn't a position that can be carried by rest of the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Even though embra have pulled some stunning European results out of the hat, given run of form and players missing I can't see how embra win this. Love to be wrong tho. Draw seems a very tough reward for how well they did in group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
