    Dilemma: Support Lions or Force?

    I love Perth, lived here for 15 years, supported the Force for 8 years and never missed a game. Rewarded with a few highs and many lows, but I'll never give up.

    Being from the mother country, I'm going to Melbourne & Sydney to support the Lions as my heart dictates. So I really have to begin support now although it breaks my heart!

    I've got so much Force merchandise it would be a shame not to wear any!

    Anyone else struggling with this dilemma?

    I am opting for lions jacket and force cap scarf. Will have it all covered. However I would really prefer a force victory although no chance of that

    So the answer is no.

    I was still trying to wrangle time off work as late as today. No luck

    Will have to make do with a few stubbies and Origin 1. Could be worse, I suppose

    I too am a pom (well, born a pom) but have no problem supporting the Force unequivocally.

    If the Force were playing just England it might be a closer call, but I've lived here 6 years now, have been on tour with the Force, drunk stupid amounts with some of the players, and so know them far better than any of the Lions. I think only half a dozen of the Lions had any test caps when I left the UK; I hardly know any of them.

    The spectacle and the privilege will be fantastic - the Lions are a fantastic institution and symbolic of what rugby is all about - being able at different times to smash your opponent and at others, have a beer with them or even play on the same team.

    Still, the last thing I want to do is give them a leg up against the Wallabies - let their egos and bodies be dented and softened up for the Tests - no free confidence boosts, please.

    Carn THE FORCE!!!! (B)!!!!
