The Lions game v Emerging 'Boks will be on the Big Screen again at about 7-30pm.
A great turn out last Saturday in the Littlemoor clubhouse, rammed full of new and old faces....
The Emerging Boks could be tricky opposition for the Lions, who will be looking to bounce back after the 1st Test.
Fresh props are straight into action, both Tim Payne and John 'Bull' Hayes starting. Ronan O'Gara is skipper.
In the last outing in 1997, the Lions won 22-51, but it was only 15-16 at half time. Present scrum coach Graham Rowntree was amongst the scorers.
In 1980 it was far closer, 6-17 to the Lions Andy Irvine, Neath wing Elgan Rees and Leicester centre Paul Dodge all scoring against a side that contained many regular senior 'Boks.
7-30 it is then - all welcome.
A spot off two touchg for the energetic types beforehand, I hear!
