Monday's Musings

There can be no excuses from here on in, as the British Lions commence the business end of their N.Z. Tour. They opened with an unimpressive win over a "Barabarians" team, 13 - 7, with some pundits claiming "jetlag"!  Good thing is for those real rugger-nuts we will actually be able to see all of the games.  Our site provides the following info;

June 7: vs. Blues (Auckland) TSN2
June 10: vs. Crusaders (Christchurch) TSN5
June 13: vs. Highlanders (Dunedin) TSN2
June 17: vs. Maori All Blacks (Rotorua) TSN2
June 20: vs. Chiefs (Hamilton) TSN2
June 24: vs. All Blacks (Auckland) TSN2
June 27: vs. Hurricanes (Wellington) TSN2
July 1: vs. All Blacks (Wellington) TSN2
July 8: vs. All Blacks (Eden Park) TSN2

So it will be the Blues, currently sitting in seventh place on the Super 18 ladder, that will provide Wednesday's test.
