In other news, Donald Trump doesn't like foreigners.

He should be British We (I say we but I don't much like the idea of being a Brit) are about to build a wall in Calais to keep the Mexicans ............. sorry the migrants out.

Really Mrs May, making policy on ideas stolen from Syrup Trump.

I believe we'd like the migrants or French to pay for it but the French say Non & the migrants haven't a pot to pish in.

I assume none of these wall building politicians have ever here of the words, "suction cups"? Even at my age I'd be over their wall before you could say "hot tamales".

Official then, Gatland to lead the Welsh pussycats sorry British Lions to NZ, expect more average Welshmen to get caps with a very average Captain Bread to lead....

Excellent news. Hopefully none of our lads on the "Ludicrous Lions" tour then

So it's official, as few as possible on the Ireland team, nobody travelling to watch them, and a complete boycott of this Lions frippery. My cup runneth over.

I'd found 25% of a feck, but I'll keep it for something else.

Have you all booked your tickets from the Pro12 final? Of course if by some fluke Ulster aren't in it, mine will go straight into the bin - feck, Leinster's Aviva Stadion.

I expect Ulster to win the Pro12 this season, if not, I'll be shocked. I also expect the league to be well worth watching this year, an example to all other leagues of how the sternest of pressure doesn't mean the rugby must be crap & for that it's thank you Connacht.

Honestly, does anyone here think the Lions have a prayer of winning?

The super rugby teams will destroy them never mind the All Blacks.

Did better than me finding 0.25% of a feck, I can't even find a microfeck

Ach Rooster, remember you are a much busier man than I am, what with wringing necks, keeping the incinerator going and generally minding the flockin' flockers. I on the other hand have to make up crap to keep me off the street corners so today, in preparation for hopefully leaving this horrible wee statelet in less than a year I scoured the house for fecks.

I found the 25% of one in the usual place, down the side of my big armchair, alongside three peanut M&Ms, a well seasoned conker, two tissues of dubious cleanliness and an unwrapped raspberry ruffle.

Sure that's a success.

Feck the FIRFU & Double Feck the Lions & that Warren Gatland Warren Gatland.

I have so little interest, that I genuinely had to wrack my brain today to recall the series result of the last Antipodean adventure. It all came back eventually, BODgate an' all.

British Lions since 1997

Baggster is there any truth in the rumour that you have a tattoo of Dylan Hartley on your left inner thigh and the Lions badge on your right inner thigh?

I think the British Lions may win the praying competition.

As for the rugby they are only there to make up the numbers, all the ones which will be feeding into the NZRU's bank account.

As someone said recently, "The only thing a 15 foot wall leads to is a market for a 16 foot ladder"

Never been to a Lions game so got some tickets for the Blues match - about 25 quid each. Test tickets will be like gold-dust and no doubt mopped up by touts.

The test matches have gone to a ballot - you needed to sign-up, be a coach at some level and other qualifying criteria to get into the ballot in the first place, but even then there were I think 140,000 entries. The winners in the ballot have been/are being notified now and tickets are up for grabs for those successful next Friday. Then the scalping will start. There's already tickets on a touting site going for $1400 per ticket for a test match.

I've bought for Chiefs, NZ Maori ABs and The NZ Baa-Baas which will allow for trips to Whangarei and Rotorua. Did you not enter the ballot in the end?

I used my .25 of a feck on the last Ulster match & look where that got me.

Expect to see the Lions hugely embarrassed & hope no Ulstermen are involved.

That is sad.

Not mention a serious waste of cash on a non-event.

Entered the Ballot but no luck. Couple of folk at work picked up 4 each. 1400 NZD sounds about right for the scalpers. I've seen Ireland tickets at Croker go for more than 1000 NZD. Maori game should be a memorable game I would have thought - good work.
