matthew123 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 British Lions would have been short hand for British Isles Lions. I think most people in the UK of Scottish, English or Welsh descent will still refer to them as the British Lions even if Lions are synonymous with England.To answer the question of what they should otherwise have been called, I'd say, HSBC Lions... or whoever is willing to sponsor ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5015-sporting-trivia-challenge-trophy/page/16/#findComment-175757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narnia Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'll assume I got the last question right.Who has scored only 3 career goals for his only club and also managed 3 own goals which were all scored against the same opponents?

Narnia Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Which black England winger scored a hat trick of tries against Ireland in a match where supposedly Swing Low Sweet Chariot was heard at Twickenham for the first time. I have to say I was there and don't remember it but that's not surprising given the result! Naturally I'm hoping for something different today.
