@Stargazer really? shit, i missed that.

Please leave the forum's Captain Obvious alone.

My bad

Been a shitload of rain overnight, while the field should be fine, and supposed to clear by kick off, those several thousand people sitting/standing on the embankments are not gonna enjoy the wet sloped ground.

Already heard the words 'winter less north' twice on the news last night...expect we will hear it a few times more...

Scottish bingo.

I hope to beat you to spotting a future Welsh bingo of
Davies, Williams, Halfpenny

or see your bingo and raise it two to: "When will Gats go for the Welsh red-royal-flush?" of
Warbuton, Mori-lumpy, Faletau, Webb, Biggar?

[Stockcar86]

Reports are that the weather is good at Taipa for the speedway meeting there, so hopefully that continues a bit further south

[taniwharugby]

@Stockcar86 hasnt rained for about 2 hours now, still cloudy with patches of blue and mild.

[Gunner]

No rain for hours.... must be due to drop a bucket load right on kickoff....

[taniwharugby]

@Gunner I can see stars and the moon. Loads here already

[taniwharugby]

@Gunner where are you, she's wet underfoot in the cheap seats.

[Kirwan]

Okara Park is looking pretty nice on the TV.

[taniwharugby]

@Kirwan given the rain we've had it is a testament to the grounds men here.

[Stargazer]

All I hope for this game is that the Lions are not so dominant that these Baabaas players have no opportunity to express themselves. I want these lads to go out on the park to play their best and leave the field with some pride, not humiliation.

[taniwharugby]

Stadium officially a sell out but quite a few empty seats in main stand, likely tour group block seats

[Stockcar86]

Barbarians jersey looks like a Counties abomination

[Stargazer]

I also want the commentators to stop focusing on Bryn Gatland. There are 14 other Baabaas on the paddock, dammit!

Especially if he's just going to aimlessly grubber it away.

[Kirwan]

Tidy start from the baabaas

[No Quarter]

Lions got away with pulling the first maul down. Defended the second maul well.

[kiwiinmelb]

Well done baa baas , nice defence

[Hooroo]

I'm finally pumped for this tour. I haven't given it a second thought until now. Looking at a jam packed Okora park or what ever it is called emphasises the importance of this amazing tour.
