Official British Lions Tour 05 thread

For anyone who is a fan of Rugby Union, what are you thoughts on the upcoming British and Ireland Lions Tour of New Zealand coming up next month?
This is a great rugby tradition started in 1888, with the last Lions tour to New Zealand being in 1993, where New Zealand won 2-1.
An Understrength Lions team have played a warmup match against an equally Understrength Argentina with the result being a 25 all draw due to a last minute penalty by Jonny Wilkinson.
I believe the Lions are really going to have to pick things up if they are to Beat the All Blacks. It should be an interesting series.
