Paarl - I got the Stats Don't Lie (Much) blog above from some Kiwi website posted on 28 April. So the figures will probably be a month or so out. I'd imagine the Cheetahs would be getting some bigger crowds now that they are on a winning streak. The last time I saw a home Lions game was against...

I wonder whether 'saturation' is also a factor? I lived there for a time (although it was a while ago) and that's all they ever talked about, all of the time. Even the chicks knew about the intricacies of the game, which was most disconcerting. It's on TV constantly - even their own rugby...

The Oz: "Will it be enough to keep JOC (James O'Connor) in the West?" You've got to be fuckin' kidding!!! Toby WHO???? Journeyman lock given the flick by the 'high flying' Chiefs... The name Ben Castle also comes to mind. 'Australian qualified through his grandfather'. Get real somebody.

Yep. You are allowed to change places before the ball is thrown in. The lineout hasn't actually begun until the ball leaves the hands of the thrower.
