World Cup Rugby Semi Final

[Ken4155]

Lions v All Blacks.

Very enthralling match so far. New Zealand don't look as assured as they usually are and our guys must sense they have a real chance of making the final. Pity about the disallowed try, though:-(

[THECORBYLOON]

Lions?

[Ken4155]

My apologies. I had always assumed that the nickname for our rugby team would be the same as for our football team. (And, yes, i know it's Three Lions). My bad:-( Doesn't detract from what i said though :-)

[Ken4155]

Perhaps, TCL, after their performance in the 1/4 final and first half performance today, they should adopt The Lions as their nickname. Looking good at half time:-)

Half time, England 10 NZL 0.

[ToraToraTora]

the problem is ken that there is another "Lions" - The British Isles team.

[Sqad]

Is 10 points lead enough..??????
The NZ side have tries in them and England need to keep up the intensity in the second half.
All Blacks there for the taking.

[Zacs-Master]

We’re about to find out.

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT, are they not the British and Irish Lions?

[Ken4155]

WOW; That's some stat. First time since 1991 that the All Blacks have failed to trouble the scoreboard in the first half.

[dannyk13]

Corby, no they are England.

[Ken4155]

This is brilliant!!!!!!!

[dannyk13]

Try for England

[BAKERS DOZEN]

The Great Britain Lions Rugby League team are playing Tonga this morning in New Zealand. Proper rugby.

[Ken4155]

Well, almost brilliant. :-(

[THECORBYLOON]

DANNY, I was meaning TTT's reference to the Lions being the British Isles team but that is not their official name.

[dannyk13]

Flipping heck, disallowed again.

[Ken4155]

^
Yeah, Danny. Who invented these stupid rules:-//

[dannyk13]

England penalty 13-0

[ToraToraTora]

yes we call them that TCL because of those who confuse politics with Geography but on Lions tours to the Southern hemisphere that are invariably referred to in the media and generally, correctly, as The British Isles.

[ToraToraTora]

Once went to Dublin with a particularly ignorant mate who was worried that I was Wearing a Lions shirt. I pointed out that Ireland are included in the lions and indeed the captain at the time was Brian O'Driscol, they were on the NZ tour 2005.
