RADIO JEM'S LIONS TOUR THEME SONG

To the tune of Katy Perry's Roar!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CevxZvSJLk8
THE LIONS’ ROAR!
They’re gonna put us to the test :-0
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 :-D

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 get up
Get ready cos we’ve had enough
We see it all, we see it now .....

We’ve got the power of the fighter, the lion,
Racing to the Tryline
CAUSE WE ARE THE LIONS .....
.....AND YOU’RE GONNA HEAR US RRROOAARR
Louder, louder than 1 lion

CAUSE WE ARE THE LIONS AND YOU’RE GONNA HEAR US RRROOAARR!

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

RRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR ;-):-D :-D :-D :-D:-D :-D :-D :-D

There were worries that the allegation of biting made against Lions Tighthead KYLE SINCKLER and the subsequent Citing would keep him from today's test.

However, he has been CLEARED of ALL CHARGES and will now take his place (albeit on the bench) with today's Lions

SOUTH AFRICA’s ANTHEM ... NKOSI SIKELEL iAFRICA
Since 1997, the South African national anthem has been a hybrid song combining new English lyrics with extracts of the hymn 'Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika' (God Bless Africa) and 'Die Stem van Suid-Afrika' (The Call of South Africa).

Language: XHOSA
Lyrics: Nkosi sikelel’ iAfrica, Maluphakanyisw uphono Iwayo
(God bless Africa, Let it’s horn be raised)

Language: ZULU
Lyrics: Yizwa imithandazo yethu, Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo
(Listen also to our prayers, Lord bless us, we are the family of it (Africa)

Language: SESOTHO
Lyrics: Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso. O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho.
O se boloke. O se boloke setjhaba sa heso, Setjhaba sa, South Afrika, South Afrika .
English Translation: Lord bless our nation. Stop wars and sufferings. Save it, save our nation, the nation of South Africa, South Africa.

Language: AFRICAANS
Lyrics: Uit die blou van onse hemel, uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes, waar die kranse antwoord gee,
English Translation: From the blue of our skies,
From the depth of our sea, over everlasting mountains,
Where the echoing cliffs resound in answer

Language: ENGLISH
Lyrics: Sounds the call to come together and united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom in South Africa our land.

MILES HARRISON, NIGEL OWENS, SAM WARBURTON & WILL GREENWOOD ARE THE COMMENTATORS IN THE SKY SPORT STUDIO TODAY

JEMIMA FAWR assisted by MASCOT FLY will bring you the game on Radio Jem ;-)

I'm very excited by Today's Lions Team especially the Back Row.
Liam Williams as Full Back with Josh Adams and Duhan Van Der Merwe on the wings!
Now Duhan did not have a brilliant game last week but that's unusual for him!
Stuart Hogg has not shone in the tests and has been replaced by Wales' Liam Williams.
Liam can be BRILLIANT, but he can also be a bit of a loose cannon giving away penalties. But they don't call him The Bomb Diffuser for nothing ;-) :-D

Having just looked again at the Lions Team en-masse, I APPROVE ;-) <3

HERE COME THE LIONS
Led out by the phenomenal ALUN-WYN JONES <3

SPRINGBOK DAMIEN DE ALLENDE HAS HIS 50th INTERNATIONAL CAP TODAY
So he has come out 1st!

Congratulations Damian

HERE COME THE REST OF THE BOKS :-)

RUGBY'S STAND AGAINST RACISM

COME ON NIGE

RRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Pretty Boy FAF DE KLERK looks on singing along.
He has been injured out of today's game along with PIETER-STEPH DU TOIT

It's good having Nige's input into the refereeing ;-) :-D <3

Referee: Mathieu Raynal (France)

Hiya Jem :-D :-D :-D
