The English Lions

[DodgyAgent]

England win the grand slam and Lions selectors pick the England squad "en block" to tour Australia - Wales to supply the bag man and the Scots to supply the bus driver. < placeholder >

I thought the England Lions were over in India playing Cricket

Only need to find another eleven for the first XV

It would have been more impressive if the All Blacks were fully fit, of course. England played well because the were allowed to. It doesn't make them a good side.

Have the Lions won a series in the last 20 odd years?

Not like the English to be smug about and go overboard is it?

I think we could have predicted that England would now think, after one game, that they've got the best team known to man. No surprise there.

Of course, if Wales/Scotland/Ireland had beaten NZ then we'd have had the exact same media coverage afterwards wouldn't we? Yeah right. I still remember the day of the World Cup semi-final (Wales were in it, England were already out). Two pages of England's rugby problems and one column for Wales' upcoming match.

And of course, I expect we'll still be hearing about this one for years to come. Like the 1966 world cup.

Turkeys; far easier to catch.

I crossed the neighbours field the a while back and the ram took me out, knocked me on my ass and carried on butting me. The wife found it very funny. I didn't. On seeing the neighbour a few days later, I asked him why he'd not told me there was a ram in there, tupping. He said a grown man should have been able to tell. I told him I hadn't been living in Somerset long enough to go around staring at Sheeps testicles.

It actually bloody hurt.
