- The tourists thumping under-strength Western Force 69-17
- Prop Cian Healy suffering a potentially tour-ending injury
- The Force fielding a weakened side because of the Super XV
- The Lions beginning their trip with a 59-8 thumping of the Barbarians
- Sweat pouring off Adam's hair in the sauna that was Hong Kong

Would you rather be lion with a kangaroo's head, or a kangaroo with a lion's head?
Who has the biggest bench press and squat in the team?
Obviously all of the squad's clothing/ attire has been handled by experts and you all have lots of matching stuff... Using your keen eye for fashion, which squad members have been helped out by this policy due to their incredibly poor dress sense?
Names and examples of failures please!
A lot has been made of Robbie Deans selection at 10 for the Wallabies squad; as Lions would you guys rather be playing against Quade Cooper with his mercurial magic & tragic skills (flip a coin for what you get), or James O'Connor as a more steady, but less dynamic player?
Thanks
Healy might be out , and Corbisiero gets the nod! Gatland going down in my estimation, as I also think Farrell is another weak selection.
I heard the heat and humidity of Hong Kong almost caused the unthinkable - that you came close to shaving off your iconic flowing locks!
Was just wondering, if not for 30deg heat and 90% humidity then what would it take for you and them to be parted? A series win perhaps? If so, can we make this official - will you promise to shave your head if the Lions win the series?! I will if you will!
Englander here.
Firstly, your columns are excellent and you are funnier then Guscott. Can I ask - who gets fired up most before the match? Who is spitting and raging to get on for the 80 minutes?
firstly, I'd just like to say that i thought you were fantastic in HK. Tough conditions but you scrummaged them off the park.
Secondly, following Cian Healy's injury I find it incomprehensible that Ryan Grant has been ignored in favour of 'Corbs'.The rugby that Glasgow play seems to much Gatland's style and he was very much a form player in the Pro12. Could you perhaps give us some insight
As an expert front rower, how do you think Grant is feeling having been overlooked yet again?
@Adam Jones.Who's the best "dark arts" prop you've played against?
