England South Africa combined vs England & Friends

Great experimental international fixture at Twickenham today. If the weather stays dry it could be a great spectacle. Would expect to see Ashton bag a try for England SA combined (providing gets at least 10 scoring opportunities). I would also expect the wing that's opposite Ashton to get at least 3 tries.

Despite home advantage & seeking revenge after being obliterated by Wales, I can see England & friends winning this down to experience plus world class backs such as Wilko and Giteau.

Will be a great spectacle anyhow.

England and South Africa combo... Didn't Wales beat them 30-3?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

They're like two pricks in a pod.
Or is it peas?

Looks like England and friends won.

It's Lions Time...that happens nathan. It'll only increase as the tour starts and players do well or do badly. The United States of Lion will be ripped to pieces by horse-hit as the party gets underway.

It is funny though

Which team is which?

None hopefully. Maybe Barritt and Strauss but hopefully none.

Why mate, are you now discriminating?

Yes. If that's what you want to call it. Don't like the idea of non B&I players playing for the Lions. Think that if you are representing the Lions you should have grown up in B or I. That way the Lions will remain the Lions and not the Barbarians.

I am aware of the IRB three year residency rule but I'm not really a fan of it to be honest. Nothing against South Africans, lovely people but they aren't British or Irish so shouldn't play for the Lions.

But then they shouldn't play for the home nations either, don't you think?

Nope.They should not.

Yes I agree. They should not. I like Ricardt Strauss as a player a lot but not sure I agree with him playing for Ireland.

I like that tribalism gents, now we just need to convince 6.8 billion other people.

6.79 billion: I'm in agreement with you..

Good on you, mr Fishpaste.
