Imagine we turn them over.
Yes, the lions will continue to be "them" to me for the forseeable future.

Bravo sir.
if I've been whooshed fair enough. There were articles in the press (in Feb IIRC) indeed suggesting that a warm up for the LIons at Murrayfield against Scotland was a distinct possibility

Oh come on - it finally gives other Scottish players than Hogg a chance to be involved with a Lions tour!
Well played sir. Got me hook, line, sinker, rod, and copy of Angling Times.

Heh-heh.
On a slightly different tack... I wonder if they’ll even consider moving to a summer schedule for the club game as a result of all this. It must be easier to get punters along on the promise of a bit of sunshine and a bbq (and a better standard of rugby) if they could play at that time. Similarly, I reckon skills training would yield better results.
