Lions
The Lions arrived in New Zealand via an elongated route which took in Dubai, Melbourne and eventually Auckland and were met fresh off the plane by a Maori welcome which included a powhiri, the laying of the wero, the hongi -- Warburton was worried about this aspect due to the size of his nose -- and performances of the haka and a traditional waiata. http://www.espn.co.uk/rugby/story/_/id/19502283/british-irish-lions-welcoming-field-new-zealand-all-blacks

Quotes
At this stage of the game you need to be consistent and keep up to your mates. - [|Virtual Rugby]

Rugby is not a gentle game. But when the South African team walked onto Newlands rugby ground in Cape Town to face the British and Irish Lions on Sept. 12, 1903, expectations were of an especially violent match. It was just over a year since the Boers, or Afrikaners, and the British had been at war, a brutal conflict in which Britain’s Lord Kitchener built the world’s first modern concentration camps and the Afrikaners found one of the defining moments of their history. On that September day, after two matches drawn in a three-match series, the South Africans had one thing on their minds: bloody revenge. “Those early matches were incredibly tough,” says John Nauright, professor of sport management at George Mason University in Washington, D.C., and author of several books on South African rugby. “The rugby pitch was the one place where they could fight the war all over again.” - [|SA Rugby: Time stands still -][|Tony McKeever]

The problem is that people want to feather their own nest to the detriment of the game as a whole. - [|John Inverdale], [|Scrum] [|March 12, 2009]

Forwards win the game, backs decide by how much. - Saying

Commentary
The measure of success is not in winning or losing, it's what you do with what you've got that counts. - Bob Dwyer, Green and Gold Rugby Podslam #51

The best flyhalf can see opportunities two or three passes away. - Green and Gold Rugby Podslam #192

History
[|Rugby League: More than just a game] One hundred years ago there was social ferment in Australia. Industrial unrest, crime and political changes were widespread giving the working class a new confidence. And in an astonishing series of events and people, football was changing forever. Rugby League was born.
