Moggsy81 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 My girlfriend has just moved to East Dulwich and i'm heading down there this weekend. I'm looking to watch the rugby somewhere, its British Lions and its on Sky sports (2pm). Does anyone know somewhere that will show the rugby? Apparently there is a an england football game on at the same time which i guess a lot of pubs will shown so hoping to get around this.Cheers:)-D Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6495-british-lions-games-rugby-union/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_carnell Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hoopers on Ivanhoe Rd should be showing it along with all the other Lions games. Jamie, the landlord, is a big 15-a-side fan.

Narnia Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Please get the bl**dy name right! We deserve that at least. We have the captain, the other captain and have had more captains than any other bl**dy country. Didn't you see how we civilised this place on BBC4 last night?

Brendan Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Ok so they beat the team from Jo?burg. Whoop-dee-do. That?s only because Jo?burg is a crap city full of 2 types of people, rich English arseholes and the criminals who steal their BMWs. (Come on, isn?t anybody going to get into a pseudo nationalistic mudslinging match with me over this rugby business?)

matthew123 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 It's a shame that the provinces/super14 teams they play are stripped of players in the Springboks squad as the novelty of the rout will soon wear thin.

Brendan Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 So apparently we have to call them the British and Irish Lions. What part of England is Iriland in anyway? Sounds West Indian to me.

matthew123 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Official name used to be British Isles, but then media nicknamed them the British Lions, so now for political reasons since 2001 they have been officially rebranded the British & Irish Lions. That is fair enough to recognise Ireland's contribution but Lions is so synonymous with English sport it still doesn't sound right. I'd settle for Colonial Dragons ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6495-british-lions-games-rugby-union/#findComment-209040 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I think the Lions should be called The Celtic & English Lions.

matthew123 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Poor Lions performance today against the Cheetahs. Shane Williams looks a spent force. Got off to a great start but in the end 3 missed penalties and a missed drop goal spared the Lions blushes. Cheetahs came bottom of the Super 14 but everytime they turned on the gas and exploded through the middle the Lions had problems.

matthew123 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I think they were as bad as each other. Too much brawn and not enough class.Didn't watch the first game but from the next 2 I have seen these are the only players I've been impressed with so far from the Lions: O'Driscall, Tommy Bowe, Jamie Roberts, Gethin Jenkins, Mike Phillips & Wyn-Jones.

Mick Mac Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I would go further and add Lee Byrne, Lee Mears, Ugo Monya (spelling?) and Tom Croft and there are probably more. I did not see yesterdays game.

Narnia Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I not convinced by Ugo but that could be just from what I've read. Croft was impressive and must be in with a shout. Agree with Byrne and Mears, though shame about Flannery. Most interesting will be the fly half's spot as Hook has done nothing wrong. Given his adaptability it's possible Jones or O'Gara might not make it into the 22.PS Mick, another thread has started with the correct title Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6495-british-lions-games-rugby-union/#findComment-210019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
