Surely LT couldn't be that stupid, given the current heat involving the legal yet highly criticised Sharks' Chch party...

Lions win 28-9. Really impressed with the Lions performance, Phillips, Heaslip and Flutey were great. Boks really lacked cohesion and the forwards seems pretty lost, missed Bakkies.

Lions up 15-3 about 5 minutes before half-time. Frenetic game so far and very entertaining for a neutral. Williams has scored two great tries and the Lions have looked dangerous in the backs. Flutey having a great game.

Think he's up in Briso atm?

Danny's "mail" tonight was that Lote was offered a "significant payout by the ARU", which he turned down and was then sacked. Went on to say that O'Neill is not a Tuqiri fan and he threatened to sack Knuckles if he didn't drop Lote in 2007 for turning up to training with an alcohol reading...

Think it has to be over the casino thing, as Noddy pointed out above he was on a last chance thing with the ARU.

Nah it's gotta be off-field, he was contracted till 2k11 I think.

Haha that is gold. If only the alcopops tax had been repealed though!

3. Barnes 2. Smith 1. Burgess

O'Connor in slight doubt with tummy bug, Mitchell brought in as cover but Rabbit will still probably play.

Smith last played 8 against the Poms at HQ in the infamous '05 EOYT, so he's had experience picking up the ball from a scrum getting reamed.

Hey Blue how do you think Spies is going to go against the Lions pack? Haven't seen him much against non-SH teams.

Sames. But would this team lose to Italy? Providing the forwards muscle up the backline could rip it up under the roof of Etihad (is that what it's called now?).

Re: Comings and goings at the Force Re Brock James - did he really show decent form when playing for the Force? He was solid but never showed the form he (from all accounts) he had been since O/S. Hilgendorf started to show some good signs (esp in combo with Stanny) that season that was...

Rocky's out. Bummer. Lyons will start at 8. Injury unlikely to keep him out for "any extended period".

The Fox coverage starts at 6.30pm, and is concluded by 9.30pm so a kick-off time of maybe 7.30-7.40?

Apparently Rocky is in doubt for the Baabaas clash, would suck if he missed the game. David Lyons called in as cover.

*cough* Jeremy Paul *cough*

Waugh to captain BaaBaas...
