Not awoke
First game of the tour of NZ starts at 8.35 am GMT ..looking forward to six weeks of filling the football void ..just hope The Lions are still in it when the third test comes around..it's going to be brutal
Surprised there is no radio coverage of this - I guess they'll just cover the tests.
Losing 3-7 at the moment.

The whole game?
Edit: thanks just switched on it.
I remember it well,.. I was there,.... 3-0,... it rained constantly, and the Kiwi fans were in our face from the beginning to the end, in the stadia, and in the bars and restaurants. One of the worst sport watching experiences I have ever been part of.I'm really looking forward to the tour. It's the ultimate test against the best team in world sports.
I think so much will depend on our key players staying fit. I recall 12 years ago when Brian O'Driscoll was spear -tackled in the 1st minute of the 1st Test the series was lost before it had begun.
I think Gatland is a great coach, he'll keep all of the squad feeling valued and focused, and on what promises to be a bruising tour morale will be tested.
10... he is a world class career number 10,... I don't get this attempt to put him out at 12,...Don't warm to Owen Farrell as a person but he is a very fine rugby player, either as a 10 or a 12...
