The only performances one ever associates the Lions with is noises. Seems it will never change.

good to see Ioane at 13…Has the goods to be very goods there.Runs straight and hard-is a handful in contact.Has explosive power/runs great lines.Decent speed too
Pity for Tirunui though who looks in great knick at present.The dropping of a few kilo’s has made him look like the player who burst on the scene a few years back for Tahs.
Digby Ioane,Quade Cooper,Will Genia-these 3 are going to be intergral for Aussie rugby in years to come in order to compete for top honours
