Popular Post TrentVilla Posted June 1, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2017 There is nothing in sport like a Lions tour (I was on the tour in 2001 and it was breath taking) and the 2017 New Zealand tour is just days away from kick off. I can't bloody wait.... so here is the thread for all the highs, lows, discussions and general ribbing of our Welshies come on fella's I know you are out there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Like you, very much looking forward to it (even if we do play Warrenball). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted June 1, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yeah he wouldn't be my choice of coach but we are stuck with him... Such a good NZ side, it's a huge challenge. The games test and non test are going to be physical bruising affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Would be awesome to be out there. It's a massive task for the lions though, especially without Billy, this NZ team is phenomenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a supporter, at the test and non test games but also fortunate enough to meet and mix with the team at various points and meet Henry. Oh and go for a few beers with Brian Moore and his ex playing chums in Melbourne, what a night that was. Amazing times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had me crazily excited for a minute, I was googling the squad and trying to figure out if any of them could be Villa fans. Never followed a tour yet but it's on the bucket list, already planning for the Japan World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I always feel playing the first game can help, the more game time together with the other expected starters the better. Obviously not saying he won't get his chance, and in the grand scheme of things it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colhint Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I was on 1997 tour in SA it's as Trent says utterly brilliant. Perhaps I should have said Roger Utterly brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 A few big hitters left to come into the side for Saturday. Kruis, Murray, Farrell, North (if he's on his game). Got a feeling it'll be a cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
