Depend on which Lion team arrive. Can't compare our lot with Japan, lost a week ago against our Pumas who isn't even making PRO16.

Hedging your bets?

Pretty sure the (Gauteng) Lions are going to get pumped in this one.

The Lions team with a big Saffer wing to win by 30.

Covid in the camp.

Can't wait to see Carlu on the wing. What an innovation

There's a decent Leeus team in there somewhere

Thought he is a Soutie

That's a very strong team, unsurprisingly. That forward pack will beat the Gauteng Lions into submission leaving Russell to do his witchcraft. Cricket score coming up.

The African Lions will be announce at 17h00

British Lions should easily win.

Pity that they don't play against any hard teams like the EP in days gone by

The Brits really get tripped up with the pronunciation of some of the African surnames because they don’t adhere to English rules.

Sexwale, Sithole and Sephaka are all common culprits that I recall.

Ruben Schoeman vs Itoje will be an interesting battle.

Golden Lions will have to pitch up or this could get ugly.

If they don't get 300 minutes training, is the series cancelled?

I believe in that scenario the series will be decided by a drinking competition

Hence the selection of Russell. All makes sense now.

Let's give them witblits and mampoer and see how the BIL's go.

Nathan McBeth, played for Scotland U20s a couple of seasons ago.

We could call him The Scottish Prop if we were superstitious

Gatland should go full shithouse and call him up to the Lions today.

Pretty exciting for this one to start.

The Lions have the better scrum/lineout in the CC. The defense the worst.
