Re: Your pre-Autumn Internationals Lions XV
Gatland should definitely pick the entire Welsh backline and a fair few of the Welsh forwards (possibly all of them) Put them on for sixty minutes, then bring on some Irish and possibly English to sustain the absolute awesomeness (the Welsh showed in two tests) for another 20 minutes. I reckon it w...

Was listening to a series preview from before game 1 after game 1 ended by some hardcore baseball journalists at Baseball America.

Re: Rugby league Convert backline
Bateman was an incredible player before he went North. Iestyn Harries would be the only convert Wales have had really and Anthony Sullivan I suppose. Neither would make that lineup although I always liked Harries. Cunningham was going to join the O's but that never happened. Botica was a good conve...

Good stuff, rugby already has a bit of a footprint in the armed forces and in some universities, if this gets rugby going in China it can only be good for the game. However it imagine there will need to be some international exhibition games as well to get crowds involved, maybe a Bledisloe in Shan...
