Chris mentioned the likelihood of antipodean interest in the Lions, and having attended tonight’s big football game in Brisbane, I’m happy to give a report. The home crowd was delirious with joy as the familiar strains of La Marseillaise floated over the ground, signalling a crushing win for the Lions. Bradshaw and Akermanis were brilliant, and the margin of 74 points was overwhelming.
