24 hours to go before I fly out of Birmingham to Dubai on my way to Sydney for the third Lions test, and it's a series decider.
I invested a lot getting my son his commercial pilots licence, and now it's payback time!

Business class to Dubai, and then onto Sydney on Thursday, Airbus A380, business, and top tickets for the game. If you happen to be watching on Saturday morning, I'll be sat in the wallabies supporters section on the halfway line. Should be two lions shirts in a sea of green and gold. I'll give you all a wave.

Life doesn't get much better than this.

And if we lose, I'll blame Gatland and his "Wales plus others" team!

Have a fab time.

It's going to be close, and you will either be able to gloat to buggery, or have them rub it in big time.

Tbh he has never cut the mustard for me.

I have said to numerous people over the years that as far as I am concerned the jury is still out on him - the usual retort from many people is that he is a "great motivator"! Personally I would be happy if they said he was a "great tactician".............that would trump it for me. As for beating them, 30 - 3 is always a nice number :wink: but I will still be biting my knuckles due to the fact that my nails have gone :roll:

Joking aside, the match at Twickers next year is going to be one heck of a ding dong.
