    Well done British Lions

    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.

    Oh, great news !

    I'm a Rugby fan...used to play Union for the school when I were a lad.

    ... on the contrary ... England triumphs 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.

    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.

    Difficult one Arthur.

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

    Belated well done Lions, just the needed result

    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.
    Live and learn eh

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

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