if you compare things to the wallabies of say 2000 then sure...but the actual reality is the more or less filled the MCG last year for a Bledisloe game and i would say kiwi expats are less enthusiastic than british/irish expats, so i expect them to sell out the three games....almost regardless of the results
the idea of classes of people is not common in NZ/Aus
Bogans and upper middle bogans
I kind of meant is there anyone in Australia that has any spare cash after payday.
It filled with Kiwis mate.
Nope. Sorry don't fall in to either category. Putting money away for it like I would any holiday
plenty....but they follow the AFL/NRL
....and the rest of my sentence said i think Irish/british fans are more passionate than kiwis...ergo....if the kiwis filled it...then i dont think the lions will have trouble filling it
Surely not all of them. Either way, I think we agree that I don't think they'll have too many problems selling out stadiums even if there's a lot of people that aren't die hard Union fans and more into AFL and/or NRL.
yeah, i dont think Aussie rugby wider problems will effect much about the tour other than the results, the hard core fans will still rock up and there will be a decent whack of curious others that just love an "event"
Nah it'll sell out for sure - just not with Aussies. My whole post was that the only point of the coming tour is for expats to get on the pxss.
Right now he does seem like the most obvious candidate. Sexton retired, Farrell MIA, Ritchie not really pushing for a place in the 15.
Yeah Ryan's not a bad shout. OF will be in the squad I imagine and if he is I won't be surprised if he's captain though the optics aren't great but I don't think Farrel Senior will care too much about that. I guess it's a long way away and a lot can happen between now and then.
