It starts now.
History
I sincerely hope the Barbarians will be a lot better than they were against England as some of the play last Sunday was not good enough; England did play well but I want a bit more fire in the bellies of the Baabaas.
They are a social club, which I have been part of, and that is fine. But they have to have a serious hit out against the Lions and can do the partying after the game in Hong Kong. They will do that because they are playing for the history of the Baabaas.
For the Lions it is even bigger; they are potentially playing for their future.
These Lions have a chance to do something that has not been done since 1997 when they take on Australia in the three Test series. They are, honestly, desperate for a series victory.
Otherwise it becomes a bit of a forgone conclusion. New Zealand are up next and then South Africa after that. They are very difficult places to go and the Lions need a win otherwise questions will be asked.
