British & Irish Lions Predictions

Thought I'd get the ball rolling, can't wait for Saturday.

Lions to win on Saturday but miss out on the series going down 2-1.

I'd love to think we can win, but I rather think we wont. The Springboks have been together as a side for a while now, are the best in the world, and have a settled coaching set up.

Our chaps have only been together for a few weeks, under a coaching staff that none of them have been with before..........

I'm briefly in South Africa in August, and it would be nice to stand around at a braai with my hosts and tell them where their team went wrong...............but I suspect the advice will all be flowing in the other direction!!

I agree with Mike, the Lions have some great players but maybe not good enough to outdo the more experienced Springboks, but you never know.

Agreed Mike, that's why Lions tours are so special. Bringing together four countries for eight weeks and taking on the world champions - awesome.

However I just have a feeling that the boks are not quite what they used to be and can certainly be caught out in the 1st Test. We also shouldn't forget that everything BOD touches seems to turn to gold this year.

I'm changing my mind...the Lions to win 2-1!
