Who Do You Want To Win Lions or Wallabies? 7 views

As an All Blacks fan it is hard to know who I want to win the series between the British and Irish Lions vs Wallabies?
The British and Irish Lions are playing the Qantas Wallabies in a three test series, but as a neutral who do you want to win?
As an All Blacks fan and New Zealander, I enjoy seeing Australia lose, but at the same time I don't want to give the Northern Hemisphere the ammunition of knowing they have beaten one of the best Southern Hemisphere teams.
I am looking forward to this test series because there is only one British and Irish Lions tour every four years. It is also a novel concept having players from four countries playing in a combined team. The large number of loud British and Irish Lions fans who join their team on tour also help this series gain momentum and have an element of magic. It is also great seeing an old fashioned tour where a touring team plays heaps of matches, rather than the one or two match test series which have become popular these days.
In some ways it would be great to see the Wallabies lose and Robbie Deans placed under increased pressure to retain his place. It would also damage their confidence ahead of the Rugby Championship and potentially make them easier to beat in the Rugby Championship. A loss could mean that Robbie Deans gets the sack and they have a chance to introduce a coach who can get better results from the Wallabies. This would strengthen the quality of the Rugby Championship.
But at the same time it would be good to see a competitive Australian team in the Rugby Championship which would hopefully make for some awesome Bledisloe Cup matches this season.
If the British and Irish Lions team win do they consider it a victory for Northern Hemisphere rugby? Or do they realise that it is a bit unfair having the resources of players from four nations defeating a team from one country.
It is difficult because while we find the Australians to be arrogant, there is also plenty of arrogance about the English since they did invent the game!
Who do you want to win the series between the Qantas Wallabies and the British and Irish Lions?
Who should I cheer for? I am on the fence on this one!
Who do you think will win the series?
