| The British & Irish Lions Thread
The British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa began with a whimper yesterday, so I thought I’d make a thread for us to discuss all Lions related news and views. Will we be able to topple the Springboks in their own back yard? Or will the World Champions be too strong for us? Answers on a postcard please!
