    I can't see how the Lions are going to win this...

    Would anyone actually prefer a narrow victory in a crappy game over a one point loss in a brilliant match? For me the latter is what the whole concept is about.

    For me that's what the Barbarians is about... I want the Lions to win and am happy that the selection can do that.

    Australia to win by ten plus I fear. The changes from test to test have been too much.

    Barbarians is about flash rugby and having a go. Lions is supposed to be about quality rugby. Best current players from four nations under the best international coach available. They should be winning with sheer class instead of trying to eek out a narrow victory from a poor tour against whats been a poor Aussie side. Any of the four national teams would have won those two tests and Gatland knows it, which is why he's abandoning the Lions and trying to field a Welsh team.

    It seems ROG is in good company, as according to Gatland, BOD isn't a first choice Lion either

    BOD was a first choice Lion on 8 occasions. ROG never started in a test game. It's not exactly the same now is it?

    I was just thinking that today will be Tommy Bowe's fifth Lions test cap. That's quite an achievement in itself. I hope he has a good one today.

    Any chance one of the mods could add a quick "Who will win?" poll ?

    I want us to win and if we do it will be despite Gatland.

    Lose and its squarely at his door.

    I am amazed we even need a decided at the beginning I though this was the greateset chance of an unbeaten tour

    That last bit of pre-game "analysis" summed up Sky's effort on the tour. Instead of discussing the game in any meaningful way they ask the pundits "do you believe". Piss off like
