India looking excellent against the Saffas. This champions trophy should be better than the world cup as only top teams involved.

Force have a big game against the Tahs this weekend. Naturally the B team gets the nod for the training hit out. I dare say Queensland will put out a stronger side this weekend with a few of their players going for the final few wallabies spots. Sure hope the Burglar gets a pasting.

We asked around the office today .... who knew who the Lions were.
Answers and further questions from the blokes ranged from:
1. England
2. Is that cricket or soccer?
3. Is that the same as the Barbarians?

How times have changed. It used to be anyone but England/GB/UK. Today two Kiwis, a Fijian and a Saffa all rocked up to work wearing Lions jerseys!
Seems it is now anyone but the Wallies

The other thing is about the Lions and their known status in oz is they only travel every 12 years. Between those years it never rates a mention
