Okara Park is looking pretty nice on the TV.

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

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.

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

Barbarians jersey looks like a Counties abomination

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.

Tidy start from the baabaas

No Quarter

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

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.

Kirwan

Number eight needs to work harder to get onside, been pinged twice and was offside again and got away with it.

Gatland showing why didn't get a super contract. With all that kicking, is he trying for a European contract?
