Has anyone seen the terrible record of the british lions in the southern hemisphere?

Question

they hardly ever win, unless its against australia.

Answer 1

They won the test in South Africa (when the South Africans were very very good) in the mid to late 90's..

The lions just (until recently) got beaten up by midweek teams - (who were under  express orders) - and then come test day - would field pretty reduced squads.

The amount of carnage these tours cause teams like wales (who have to rest the entire squad for a season to recover from injury) makes these tours not at all worth while.

Answer 2

Yea its these other teams they play focusing on injuring the players...then when they get to the All Blacks there in bits...did you see what happened to O'Driscol last time...tag team dumped and they ****** up his shoulder...a dump tackle is imprssive if one guy can dump another guy...but any two guys can lift one other guy to dump tackle him...its not impressive...just dirty...Also these guys are an all star team...and have very little time to get used to playing with each other...anyone who plays team sports knows that no matter how good a team of excellent players are...if they play a team of players not quite as good as them who have been playing together for years...the guys that know each other will win cuz they work together better...
