A combined Australia/New Zealand side will play the English and Irish Lions in Adelaide in 2025

Invitational Aus-NZ team to face Lions in '25

An ANZAC-style invitational team has been given the green light to face the British & Irish Lions in 2025, after Rugby Australia confirmed the dates of the historic tour on Wednesday afternoon.

www.espn.com.au

Before people get too excited, New Zealand have already said no All Blacks will be involved, and I suspect the Australian contingent will be a fairly weak part too.

Similar to ours. I worked/lived in Thailand for one year and temps of around 100 °F and high humidity are a killer. You just feel totally exhausted but a beer or many at the end of the day is always good.

If Cleveland fans are so intelligent, why are they supporting Cleveland???

Because we don’t want to hang around with the dummies from Pittsburgh and their cousins from Port

That is (Scanlens card ) Bondie who is/was on Vic football radio. Worked with Rex Hunt

 

[Eagleboy2011]

While talking Scanlen cards. We had our own In SA.

Anyone remembers the old Mobil Footy cards. My mate I see weekly. Old enough to be my father but still gets around well. Would pass for 20 years younger.
I tease him about his value. He responds he has a few hundred of the card for sale.
