Number of Aussies, Saffers & Kiwis in the Lions?
2 Aussies, 2 Saffers and only 1 Kiwi? Is that all?
Even if I haven't missed anyone, still pretty strange that the British and Irish Lions could field a team that is 1/3rd antipodean.

Re: Match 4: NSW Waratahs v B&I Lions
What happened there? Why wasn't kick allowed? It was the right call. Bowen took half a step to kick, Lions player charged forward. Bowen complained and then once he realised it was live he passed. So essentially he didn't kick the free kick. Correct but very technical. Most refs would just reset. I...
