F**k living in Melbourne does get to me rarely.

I've got to the point where after living here for 5 years I've missed that a Lions Tour is on....and, couldn't remember who actually won the 6N this year....

Lions tour is going to be awesome. I know some guys who are going over for it - lucky buggers!

2-1 to the Boks.

It's a stupid name for a colour anyway. At least in real rugby they're called the Reds.

Sadly the Reds are crap because anyone who has any talent appears to be playing a game (!?) where crap sides get a go even if they can't win the ball. Your turn lads. Have a go.

The only game with built in patronising.

Is it not about time the Lions were culled? It seems to me that the only thing they achieve is making a statement that individual British and Irish teams can't beat Aus, NZ or SA on their own. It might have made sense in the old days of amateur rugby when the individual unions didn't have the cash to get there on their own, but now it seems like an enormous statement of how crap European rugby is.

Sure, it is a throwback to the amateur days but I have no problem with this being done every 4 years - it's something different to the 3N, 6N, autumn tours etc. It's a big year for SA rugby - S14, Lions, 3N and then the northern hemisphere tour.

There's a tradition about it for sure. But just imagine suggesting that SA, NZ and Aus form a single team and tour Ireland.

How can we top that dodgy segue..."It's a stupid name for a colour anyway. At least in real rugby blah blah blah...."

Segue. That's a word that I'd never actually heard used in anger until I came to Australia.

It's funny how people latch onto particular words in particular places.

The cockroaches are going to get crushed.

It's the only reason to watch today tonight...to admire the subtle Segue's.

subtle? there is nothing ever subtle about TT

c'mon, surely these segue's are subtle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdroRRo2Z1w

Hope its 1-1 after the second game because we managed to get 8 tickets. I may even be a complete unethical, underhand, unaustralian and scalp my 2. My husband and his mates will take the other 6

Mind you my 8 year old nephew i am supposed to take may be upset but I could buy him a budgie or something

Guess where they're playing the 1st game in the State of Origin.

Ireland won the 6N. 3 points less from the boys in green and Wales would have come 1st instead of 4th. There were a few white knuckle rides this year.

Scott Gibbs on Os du Randt, now that was nice
