Re: Number of Aussies, Saffers & Kiwis in the Lions?

Of course it's money. It's also an opportunity. That is what migration is. The doctors and nurses propping up our health system are hardly here for the strong personal desire to work in Irish hospitals. They're here because it's an opportunity that pays better than where they're from. Okay so we ag...

Re: Number of Aussies, Saffers & Kiwis in the Lions?

How so? Daugunu for sure but most of the PI players on the Wallabies either were born in Australia or moved there at a relatively young age. Pretty different to the likes of Aki, Tuipulotu, Duhan, JGP and Lowe who all played professional rugby in their countries of origin before going on to qualify...

Re: Number of Aussies, Saffers & Kiwis in the Lions?

Really, just change the name to the BI & A Lions already. I think they have had a minimum of 3 antipodeans in their backline for every game they’ve played. It’s not a criticism. The Australian team could just as easily be called the Wallabies and Pacific Islanders. How so? Daugunu for sure but most...
