Didn't Clive Woodward state a few years ago that he would be interested in managing a football club?
He was Performance Director and DoF at Southampton in mid the 00s. Needless to say, it was not a success.Originally Posted by B. Oddie
Another defeat, 23-22 to the Highlanders.
GO ANYONE BUT THE LIONS!!!
People who support the Lions, but want to keep a Welsh football team are hypocrites.
??? the lions have happily existed alongside the four home unions since 1888, you cant equate rugby and football in this instance
Quite possibly the most ridiculous comparison ever made.

You forgot about Engerlish cricket as well
Played well really.
Ref was crap
I honestly think the lion's will win the first test. People saying they will get whitewashed by big margins in each game, I think are gonna be shocked. The first 2 tests will be close. The last one, the all blacks might run away with it, if they are 2-0 up, because of lion's fatigue after a long tour, but the first 2 tests will be close..... and if it's 1-1 going into the final test, it will give the lion a second wind. They have to stop bauden Barrett. If they can stop him, then the lion's can win this series
Barratt is injured,
There's also the chance of complacency from the All Blacks after seeing the Lions' shaky start.
I can't see that happening.
Owen Farrell is out injured for the Maori game.
It seems to me the Brits play with emotion, odd flash of brilliance , some discipline ,but errors, the all blacks play with flair , composure total discipline with very few errors.
I'm no big rugby follower just a sporting observation.
I do think a lions team would beat any of our home nations ,France ,and perhaps South Africa and Aussie in tight games .
Only comes around every 4years. Even the Paddy's are part of it, and them lot have been fighting for a million squillion years to get independence from the UK, plus rugby needs independent British national teams, otherwise the pool of tier one teams would be to small, like rugby league. And if you look back through the history of the lion's, you will see, Wales have been probably the biggest part of it on the most successful tours. Think of it as a get together every 4 years to show case a bit of British pride from the union countries......and Ireland. I'm with you when it comes to football though, I'd hate to see a British football lion's, and I'm glad they got rid of the. British Olympics football team. That was a worry because football is a lot bigger, FIFA would like nothing more than to see us as a British team
Whatever helps you all sleep in your Liverpool shirts at night.
Anyone else watch the all blacks this morning? Fukinell, I've never seen anything like it. Even if you don't like rugby, youd still be impressed watching them. They make it look so easy
and they were a bit rusty for the first 20 mins,
On the basis of that warm up the Tests are going to be even more painful than I first thought.
Speculation in the media that up to 6 additional players to be added to the squad.
Maybe the enormity of what is about to hit them has registered with the Lions coaching team.
the only chance they have is a dominant forward display, keep it tight, kick and chase has to be spot on, the AB s are playing attacking rugby from the gods at the moment, but they were under the cosh for the first ten minutes when Samoa kept the ball and kept it tight, pick and drive and take your chances when they arrive,
Don't eggers have any sites of their own to spout shyte on ?
Go on Wales Online ffs.
Lions leading 12 - 10 going into the second half good performance so far.
Excellent victory, completed without much flair, typical Warrenball brute force
