[ncurd]

NB, need to change the OP - kick off has been brought forwards by an hour, for no good reason

British and Irish Lions vs Cell C Sharks kick-off time next Wednesday brought forward to avoid Euros clash

British and Irish Lions tour match vs the Cell C Sharks in Johannesburg next Wednesday (July 7) has kick off time moved forward an hour to 6pm (UK time) to avoid overlap with Euro 2020 semi-finals. Watch every Lions tour match exclusively live on Sky Sports.

I suppose they want someone in England to watch it.

Having the precise opposite effect on me; I'd watch a 7.00 KO; but can't at 6.00

Give them a message on Facebook and I'm sure they'll understand

Aye, I'll miss the first half because I won't be back from work

Boooooo

From a UK perspective it's thin air, I spent a year living in South America (Colombia) in areas ranging from 5,000 to 11,500 feet. You do feel the difference

It's the same as when you buy food from Sainsbury's, you can taste the difference.

Sorry about that terrible joke.

So you should be sorry

Things actually did taste different sometimes. I never saw an identifiable piece of chicken (all flat "steaks"), tasted better.

Alcohol was the main bugbear since you got ****** quicker on less beer, especially if it had gas.

In Cusco, Peru (11,500 ft) 2 pints Old Speckled Hen and a Guinness were ruinously expensive, about £8-10 a pint, and were enough for me to fall off my stool

This is the place to go, reputed to be the highest Irish bar in the world (they're bloody everywhere)

Waffles, anyone?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Be interesting to see how that happened considering they're supposed to be in a bubble

Hospitality staff?
Secret jollies?
Unpublicised sponsor events (noticed they'd been playing golf before)

 

[Groundhog]

Welsh players broke the bubble to go bothering the local livestock

Think he's still in the refractory period from picking Adam Beard

I thought all members of the touring group had been double vaccinated.

I know you can still catch it even after vaccinations, but the probability is very low.

 

[General Melchett]

Game is on.

Bother local livestock in SA you could meet up with your namesakes
