...Will be interesting to see whether or not Ireland can roll England...whoever wins the 6 Nations you'd think will be providing the lion's share of players for the NZ tour......four years ago the Lions team was virtually Wales in different red shirts...

And Lions coach Warren Gatland must be alittle bit apprehensive coming back to NZ after last years 3-0 series whitewash at the hands of the ABs...
...and who could forget Wales biggest loss ever to a NZ provincial side when the Welsh played the Mighty Chiefs B team in 2016 and we kicked their butts 40 - 7..

 ...Hell yeah, but I am slightly conflicted as I can trace my ancestry back to a few of the countries involved in the tournament...wouldn't be surprised if we see a braveheart performance up first from Scotland against the Irish... 


...England has a number of injured players but should still be able to dispense with France..

...and Wales should have a relatively easy game against Italy...


...but if I were to put some money on Ireland , England and Wales to win first up then there would probably be an upset knowing my luck..

Agreed u guys in NZ have an excellent team.
But I would suggest that u do not gloat too loudly whilst on top. Perhaps save some of that gloating for when the tables are turned (if ever).
Enjoy and savor the moment.
Wish us Bok supporters could have such a moment.
