I've heard there will be rain. How heavy is it likely to be?
Drizzling, pouring ???Hope Naholo and Ioane have been practicing their high ball skills - both catching it and not taking anyone out in the air.

Heard foxy on radio sport saying , expecting heavy rain , and could rain throughout the whole game .
He was trying to spin the we have to adjust to the conditions line , but you could hear the disappointment, even though he wouldn't say it -

The Norwegians reckon it won't be completely hosing down - but definitely wet and maybe raining steadily throughout.
Mind you if it's anything like it is here in Nelson today, it will put the fear of god in anyone who's playing in the back three. The sort of day when it's better be at home by a roaring fire watching it on the telly!

@Frank I'm hoping Naholo keeps his cool. Focus on positioning when he's defending, tackles legal and low. The rest of his game he's awesomeness waiting to happen.

No cross kicks for Naholo to chase would be a good idea.

We doing score predictions?
Beauden to control the game from start to finish like he's done for the Canes in shitty conditions at the Cake tin.
ABs 41 - 6 Lions.

@No-Quarter dammit that's just my score from last week with an extra pen to NZ and one less to BIL. I'll have to take 46-9.

Except for those low, skiddy ones behind the line that sit up perfectly and Nahalo just steams through and consumes it. I'm all for those ones.

On the piss in town last night and I have to say that every single Lions fan is an absolute GGC. Great folk to talk shit with. Such a decent bunch. My Mum is a fan too after getting her car stuck on the ledge of a drive she was using to turn around in. A group of about 6 of them lifted her car ( Suzuki swift ) back onto the roadside. Legends.
Town is just pumping. 2005 all over again, only difference is my fucken head aches way more than it did at 28.

Concussion? Would explain some of your comments around Scottish players.

Thats a fucken top burn there Puks. I'll take that one.
One Scots bloke in a kilt did whinge for about half an hour that Tommy Seymour wasn't in the 23 but he was buying the Panhead APAs so I listened and nodded intently.
No, I was not talking into a mirror

Just read this:
Former British and Irish Lions rugby player and coach Sir Ian McGeechan has collapsed ahead of the second test between the All Blacks and Lions in Wellington. NZME reports the Scot has been rushed to hospital after collapsing in the commentary box at Westpac Stadium.
ABs 25-18
