Five Lives, Rugby Union Weekly.

Right, Robbyn Weekly, Friday, the day before the final test between the British and Irish Lions and Australia.

On a minging Sydney day, it has been raining all week.

So, Lauren, we're holed up in a pub in the north part of Sydney and we're doing a bit special on the pod today. It's not a mingin day. Lewis Risholmits on his way back to Welsh. Climate day, yeah, in terms of weather. But that is a bit, that's all coming up Welsh now, isn't it? Jack Morgan's in the test team. Rhys Hammett's back in Wales. Yeah, Lion Series win. Jack's glory, Zammett's back. Yeah, the good times are rolling in. But no, nowhere better to spend a rainy. Well, I say rainy's been checking it down all afternoons. You are right. It is a ming and day. Now we're better to spend it than in the pub, surrounded by fans. I mean, we... No, not listeners. Listeners, sorry, sorry. First and foremost, everyone's a rubbing weekly listener. Yeah. And we put an Instagram post out a couple of hours ago and people have rallied. Nothing I'm sure to do with the fact that he can't do anything in the city when the weather's like this.

No trips to Watson's Bay, which of course we've not done this week.

But fantastic to see so many listeners here supporting the Lions.

We're going to have a great chat over the course of the pod.

Yeah, look, we've got friends, family members who are fans and listeners.

And we're fans ourselves. So of course we hear opinion we're in

constant touch with them but we haven't really been in the heart of it have we and that's what

today is all about absolutely so we have so many stories to discuss today we've got a whale section

you know it's the jack morgan section we're going to speak to uh to helen and Deleth who have come over to support the Lions, but really to support Jack Morgan. We've got fathers and sons. We've got a load of expats here who live in Australia can give us the view from the ground on Rugby Union in this great sporting country. We've got families, father's son, and we're going to start with some real Lions legends. When we Lions Legends Legends, some people think, Willie John McBride, don't they answer Gareth Edwards and Martin Johnson the like. But instead, we've got the likes of Lynn, Trevor Keith and Callum, for whom coming on Lions Tours, Lynn, is just a way of life for you, isn't it? Yeah, it started 2001 and just carried on, really. So how many is that?

Six altogether.

Six tours.

Yeah.

Starting in 01.

Yeah. Didn't make it in COVID in 22. I'm sure you did the best. Missed the South Africa one, but done every other one since it. Because it was illegal to go. Otherwise, you would have been there. Well, more or less. Yeah. Yeah. And you guys, what number tour is this for you?

This is my third tour now, having done Australia 12 years ago and South Africa before that.

So definitely hooked.

Having normally watched England play rugby around the world,

it's here for the World Cup 2003.
