Well done British Lions

[Dedworth]

I'm not really a Rugby fan but it is always good to see the Australians beaten in any sport. I hope they give them a bigger mauling in the next game.

:yeahthat: ... they're NOT the sort of team to take defeat "*lyin' down"! :laugher:

[Arthur Little]

:nono-1-1: ... on the contrary ... England triumphs :icon_win: at MOST sporting events its "line-ups" tackle - including soccer, Les.

Speaking as a Scot, it's inclined to make us a wee bit jealous. :biggrin:

With 10 times the population of Scotland to draw talent from (and nearly 3 times that of Australia), I would hope we DO sometimes win Arthur. :smile:

:gp:, Graham ... but then, how MANY of "our" players are actually British~born, nowadays??

[grahamw48]

Difficult one Arthur. :Erm:

I'd have no problem with lots of cute Filipinas being imported to represent us at Gymnastics. :hubbahubba:

[Terpe]

Belated well done Lions, just the needed result :Jump:

I just happen to be watching TFC the other night and saw a special report on the rigorous training program of the Philippine National Rugby team. They are called Volcanoes.
To be fair, they looked pretty good for team who just started playing a few years ago

I wasn't even aware it's played over there. :Erm:
Live and learn eh :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

There can't be too many lads that BIG in the Phils. :Erm:

Then again, who'd have thought basket ball would have been one of their favourite sports ? :Jump:

[joebloggs]
