I am obviously supporting the NZ teams playing against the Lions. SH against the NH - always for the SH.

Hakwat, if the Boks aren't involved then I automatically support the underdog ..... therefore, take it as the ultimate compliment when I say that I've honestly, never ever supported the ABs .

Never had a problem barracking for the Boks vs the NH teams ,hope they stick it to the Froglets too BTW !

No doubt who the underdog is in today's match.

I'll be supporting NZ. Think they're going this Lions team, who are bloody good mind and would have the Wallabies and Boks on toast at the minute but the All Blacks are a different beast.

Go All Blacks. The warm up game was kids stuff. Farrell taking a kick in the 65th minute to avoid a disaster is a joke. Scared.

I'll be supporting the Kiwis too.
Very interested to see how the Lions go against the Kiwi SR franchises.
Will be a nice view into what standard SR actually is. My feeling is that the Lions won't win against any of the big teams.
Meaning that on a weekly basis we are watching club rugby that is above test level.
Another argument against the "step up to test level" myth.

Personally I feel they have the boys to upset the Kiwis ... it's just a matter of gelling.
Granted ... the All Blacks are a well settled side, exxcept for their midfield ... so they should be the favourites to win ...especially in their own back yard.
None the less ... I'll be cheering for the Brits.

Hacked Waaugh I would love to be able to support the wee abs with a clean conscience. Alas it simply not possible given all nefarious deeds of nz rugby including their notorious refs etcSo with huge regret I have, on moral grounds, to support the LIONS!

Given their frot perfor mance against the nz Barbarians these Lions need all the support they can get!

We wouldn't want it any other way Beanhead - At least u r honest and upfront .

The Baa Baas played the way they are supposed to,with heart and ambition .Farrell wasting the final 2 minutes to save their arse was just sooky and certainly not in the spirit of the game .One wonders at the result if they had just one AB playing such as Milner Skudder TJP or Barrett [ any Barrett would do !] It would have been a major embarrassment.
