ODE TO LEIGH HALFPENNY

He is the little one in the Lions Pack
But that doesn’t matter when he’s on the attack
Not only at full back, attack or defence.....
BUT THE GREATEST GOAL SCORER - AT THAT HE’S IMMENSE

LITTLE LEIGH HALFPENNY .... LITTLE IN HEIGHT BUT HUGE OF HEART! <3

Wales' Jon Davies is back today from the head knock he sustained

HERE WE ARE .... THE PENALTY GOAL

HERE'S MY LEIGH <3

LEIGH IS IN THE MIX

Itoje ... Furlong ..... Sexton ... Te'o .... Davies ..... Kruis .....


They are nearly on the line

Sexton ... Furlong ..... Itoje ... O'Brien ... Vunipola ... Murray... Sexton ... Davies

14th phase

Murray ... Sexton sees a gap... Furlong Murray

Faletau ... Itoje

What a strong start from the Lions

Advantage Lions

NEW ZEALAND ANTHEM NOW

GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALAND
The anthem has English and Maori lyrics, with slightly different meanings. When performed in public, the usual practice is to sing the first verse in both Maori and English.
Maori Verse:
Maori verse: "Aotearoa"
E Ihowa Atua,
O nga iwi matou ra
Ata whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa

English translation (Karetu)

Lord, God over yonder,
Of all our nations
Listen to us gently,
With the infinite love
May the goodness bear fruit;
May your kindness come;
Please give protection to
Aotearoa


English verse: "God Defend New Zealand"

God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.


beautifully sang by Lyndsay Marbelly (not sure of the spelling of her name)

THE LIONS’ ROAR!

They’re gonna put us to the test
We’ve really got to play our best
Not gonna play quietly,
Not gonna play “politely”
We really haven’t got much choice
Must push ourselves to breaking point
We’ll stand for nothing
We’ll try out everything

They hold us down, but we get up (hey!)
Already brushing off the dust
They hear our voice, they hear that sound
Like Thunder, gonna shake their ground
They hold us down, but we'll get up
Get ready cos we’ve had enough
We see it all, we see it now .....

We’ve got the might of a lion, a fighter,
Dancing through the fire
CAUSE WE ARE THE LIONS .....
.....AND YOU’RE GONNA HEAR US ROAR
Louder, Louder than 1 lion
CAUSE WE ARE THE LIONS....
.....AND YOU’RE GONNA HEAR US ROAR !

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Hi Susan :-)

How lovely to "see" you! :-)
How are you doing?

How lovely of you to give a home to some of our Welsh boys for a while. :-)
I wonder if they are the Scarlets Fans (Llanelli) who's flag I saw being waved in the last game :-D :-D

If you are able to, you will be very welcome to come and join us here later as you watch the game. :-)
I will be roaring, but you can always come back on me with a haka lol! :-D :-D :-D
