Re: The Welcome to Country - what's going on?

The acknowledgement of country is a bit overdone but it really only annoys white racists. I think the reality is that the vast majority of people who don't like it just find it boring and a bit of an eye-roll in the "more woke shit" sense, but aren't really racists and are just a bit too tone-deaf ...

That should be expected playing teams that are 3 levels below, with their best players absent.

If they wanted to even it up and make it a close contest, all they'd have to do is mandate the Lions have a few more Welsh in the team.
