    I always wonder (any English fans care to comment please), do England see Jones as "dear adopted Welshman"? The Irish can't stand Jones, for much the same reasons as Kiwis (patronising, belittling, pompous etc).

    In general we do not see him as a dear adopted Welshman. Mostly we think he's a complete dick and pay a lot less attention to him than you guys seem to. Most of my Taff mates also think he's a dick and are probably glad that he's seen by many as a Pom.

    It was a good first cast into the pond leading up to the tour, got a few nudging the bait and a good solid strike. @Bones effort was better though, very subtle.

    Isn't playing "ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts", because you know you're crap at sing, irony?

    No, I don't think that is irony. If they'd put on accidentally "I'd like to teach the world to sing", that would be somewhat ironic and funny, if they were actually crap at singing.

    Note to self: Jegga's a tough bugger of a marker.

    Further note to self: Must try harder.

    Pace yourself mate, you don't want to peak early.

    Definite irony there. These Australian and Welsh fellas masquerading as England spokesmen do love to talk from the sidelines.

    Darn, so the walrus is right.
    A. he hasn't met me
    B. I don't get irony anyway

    But it is ironic that in 1983 we didn't have many ......
    No, won't go there

    “That is not for me to decide, I’m easy. It’s where I’ve played the majority of my rugby, but I’ve played a lot at 12 as well. It depends what other ­people see me as, it’s not about what I think."

    To be fair to the Walrus that Dunedin test in 83 was in atrocious conditions.

    Dunedin for a week with southerlies ... yep... that'd put you off the country.

    This was nowhere near the worst article he wrote this week. You should see the tripe he wrote about how the Lions are always so hard done by with refereeing.

    Thanks for the warning, I'll give it a miss.

    Really enjoyed this from the Telegraph staff

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/93084647/lions-tour-blackwash-the-inside-story-of-the-worst-lions-tour-ever

    Ignore the headline 🙄

    @Frye quite like the word black wash , sums up what happened to them quite nicely . The photo of Woodward looking despondent is the icing on the cake. Shame Marshall was the only ab to contribute, his thoughts were quite interesting though.

    Interesting article. Some lingering bitterness there, but "Donners'" parts were great, he sounds like he had a ball!

    I was talking about "worst tour ever" bit. Because it seemed like an unnecessary swipe, and it's not our place to judge. But as it turns out, that was theTelegraph headline, so carry on!

    @mariner4life yeah the comments around BOD were bitter alright...did think the comment about a lady in a shop refusing to sell laces odd...but I guess there is no reason to make it up.

    Certainly a lot of division in the squad, no surprise they struggled on the park.
