    Not a big fan of rugby, but i definitely prefer Union to league. Should be a great occasion and hopefully a Lions win.

    I don't really understand the rules and tactics in Union. But I've really enjoyed this game. If every Union game was like this i'd watch it more.

    I used to play Union, but watching it usually bores me to tears. This has been a good game to be fair, less aimless kicking than usual.

    Disaster under the posts for Lions, could be costly

    Better kicking and you'd a won easily.

    Great game though.

    An interesting contrast between football and rugby and possibly why our footballers dont do well

    Brian O'Driscoll
    "‘It’s so unique to have four countries shouting for you,’ said O’Driscoll. ‘Kind of bizarre, but brilliant, too, and for them to have love for you as a collective for that brief period, makes it very, very special. When you know they’re roaring you on, it gives you the extra incentive you need to play the game of your life.
    ‘The ultimate for a player in Britain or Ireland is to get the honour of pulling on the red jersey. So many greats before you have done likewise and to be able to borrow that history for 80 minutes is huge. You would never bore of this feeling, of being involved; from the team announcement to the Tests goes in the blink of an eye.


    Jamie Carragher
    "Compare this to Jamie Carragher’s brutal admission, after England had lost a penalty shoot-out to Portugal in a World Cup quarter-final, that it did not mean as much to him as losing with Liverpool.
    ‘I’d just missed a penalty in the World Cup quarters but I thought I’d rather miss for England than Liverpool,’ Carragher wrote. ‘Defeats wearing an England shirt never hurt me in the same way as losing with my club.’

    With all the Man U lot, Neville, Scholes, Butt no wonder we didnt come thorugh in those quarter and semi finals when the chips were down.

    Beating the Aussies at anything is good by me - well done the Lions.

    Union's ****! Thought i'd offer my opinion.

    Rovers currently beating Catalan. That's more like it.

    I'm not a follower of the 6 nations, but i'm sure Scotland always get the wooden spoon, or at least finish bottom of the 4 home nations (excluding France & Italy). So they don't really deserve to have anyone included.

    Not now, good game though and Catalans deserve to be in front.

    Anyone watching this morning?

    God it's dull, and there's such a lack of basic skills, blokes just dropping the ball cold, missed tackles and throws not straight.
