OT - Lions Test : Sat Jun 20, 2009 6:08 am  

Going round to a mates this afternoon with about 20 others to watch the Lions v Springboks (plus regulation beers).

Everytime someone gathers the bal in open play nd then kicks it 50 yards, about half of them turn around and say 'go on, say it'.

Its great, no pies though.

Not a good first half at all.

Bit weird considering in RL i'd have expected Monye's effort to be given a try. Benefit of doubt lad..

I still find it weird that a big hit is frowned upon.

Still think the lions can do it, but i'd get Jones and Vickery off too.
