I wont bother, unless Deans is deported at least before the Spring tour of 2012. With him coaching us, i'll be surprised if we win a game.

A few quick comments

Date Playing Location Likely Lions Side
Wednesday, 5 June 2013 Force Perth Squad
Saturday, 8 June 2013 Reds Bris First cut at Best
Wednesday, 12 June 2013 Country Newcastle Squad
Saturday, 15 June 2013 Waratahs Sydney Tinkering with Best
Tuesday, 18 June 2013 Brumbies Canberra Squad
Saturday, 22 June 2013 Wallabies Bris Best
Tuesday, 25 June 2013 Rebels Melb Squad
Saturday, 29 June 2013 Wallabies Melb Best of non injured
Saturday, 6 July 2013 Wallabies Sydney Those still walking

So basically it looks as though the Force, Reds, Tahs and Brumbies are going to be juggling Super 15 commitments along with Lions tour matches and wallaby commitments. The Rebels don’t have that problem. Most of the wallaby players in the Force and Reds will probably play for their sides against either the wider Lions squad (Force) or the first cut at the best Lions side (Reds).

Well the last Lions tour in Aus can be remembered for a couple of things. Firstly the transformation of the wallaby supporter from turning up in any old colour to now a sea of gold. The Gabba game was a sea of Red where the wallaby supporters were almost invisible in comparison. The ARU countered this by encouraging supporter to wear gold. So thanks to the Lions supporters for making the merchandising sellers a fortune. KooGa probably owes their success to you. more.

The surface at Etihad is actually pretty hard. Don't think its suited for Rugby. Hell, AFL footballers struggle with it saying it puts too much stress on their legs and feet. Should be allright though seeing its only one match.

Have put the dates down in my calendar.... and a notification at work for the time off... They looked at me a bit funny when I told them I wanted some time off in 2013, but what do they know? Nothing!
