The Lions tour to SA

[nownek]

What price Gatland or Edwards coming out with something like this?

Still 8 months to go but can you feel it building guys?

I'm looking forward to it and am heading down for the tests. Should be a really god series, very much like 97; Bok world champions and I think potentially a decent Lions side.

Telfer - what a legend. He was headmaster at my wife's school when she was there, she has no interest in rugby, but he was a true gent by her accounts.

A true gent who said "fk" a lot

Really looking forward to this tour, hopefully we'll see a form based lions team in all 3 tests rather than household name parade.

We've got the coaches AND the players to do well. First step is a good 6Nations with all home nations stepping up to the plate.

I have a BIG fear that Wales is going to implode with a Club v Country row.

Worst case scenario is Gats walks away not wanting political issues instead wanting to coach.

I hope Im wrong but with so many internations a year some Welsh sides are without their key 1st choice players for a huge amount of the season - then they have to be rested & released early for training & then the injury worry.

Clearly every player from any country should always want to play for their country and if a time comes when that desire goes & they'd rather play for their club then Im sorry but their international career is over.
