That's awesome Ash - I've seen this clip used a number of times with different scripts but whoever wrote that one is a genius ! Very clever indeed - Cracked me up when the woman said there were no Scots in the side.

Nice one Ash.

Should be a great game!

I always liked the Newcastle parody from a few years back.

Let's not get too carried away. Rugby Union is very much a minority sport in Australia and not played or followed by many people. In the British Isles with a population probably five times that of Australia, it is played by millions at some stage of their lives. The Lions had five countries and many more professional players to select from. Even with all these advantages, they still had to recruit a Kiwi to coach them and rely on a Yank to get things under way with the first try.

Old Crust, whilst I take your point you do need to remember the old saying about people in glass houses.
Firstly the poplulation of the UK and Ireland is about 3 times that of Aus not 5 times. Secondly your Kiwi coach did'nt do you a lot of good did he?! And on the point of foreign born players, everyone does it now. Loads in Aussie union, and the All Blacks have been recruiting Islanders for years. And what would the NRL (which I also enjoy and am in fact watching at this moment) be with out all the foreigners? Loads of Kiwis, Islanders and even a spattering of Poms!
Simie.

Fair enough simie, I was probably over egging things, only having 40 million more folk probably does'nt affect much. With regard to MY Kiwi coach, he did me a lot of good. As an ex hooker I hate to see an unstable set scrum, like we saw in Melbourne. Gatland put that right this week, albeit with help from Wig. Once the ball is out with the girls, I'm not too sure whether his coaching is any good or not. For me Union is not a spectator sport, but a great game to play, especially if you are a forward.

Regards picking foreigners, just because everyone does it is no excuse for the British Lions to do it, just my opinion of course.
