Backpacking Wilderness Trails in British Columbia Lesson 3 - Food
Seven days backpacking in the desert, the participants will need everything they have to bear in order to survive, including food. From my own experience I can promise potential West Coast Trail hikers that they will curse every gram of weight in their backpacks, at least 100 times per day. Obviously, for reasons of space, weight and nutrition security, it is not possible, fresh foods, canned, frozen or microwaveable pack, you should still expect a lot, theEither take away or tent delivery. I'm not sure if it is near Carmannah Point, set a native lady is still there, but a trailside restaurant "Chez Monique and when it does it again this year, it has the best hamburger you ever in your life and also the biggest. Check with Parks Canada, before you leave. to the rest of the meals in your backpack with coffee, tea, rain suit gear, and sleeping pad, tent, cutlery, pans, first aid kit, clothing,Water filters, ropes and many other articles to the full path.
Some of these devices can work with the other members of your party, but shared the only viable solution for the food, is the powder type. Apart from some funny stories about these things in my book, is the reality that add lots of different products in the boiling water and stir diversity and most of them are not so poor that fall. Planning is important because you do not wish that they toomuch because of the unnecessary weight and too little will not work.
Try some of the packaged products before they into the wilderness, because that is the wrong place to find out that you really do not like the brew scrambled eggs for breakfast. The food is absolutely important, and you simply can not afford to skip a meal just because you do not like the taste. Do your research first. We found that the grocery store variety of instant oatmeal was quick and nutritious and easy topack and make for breakfast. It is much cheaper than the store offers camping, too. One might consider a couple of juice crystal packages to accommodate your water supply, because it masks the taste of filtered water. We imagined that we would make something warm for lunch, but never did it because the time and effort it required to unpack and set up the stove and wait then not cool that wrap setting. Unless you like to do something like find a cold lunch ideas that workFor 7 days or even 5, if Monique is open, and the last days you will be in the starting point and a restaurant nearby. Nuts and dried berries are a thought, unless you already have too much trail mix. Speaking of snack products, try Eat More candy bar, they are really tasty, chewy, sweet and so less money than the so-called power bars.
If I have to do it more than I would have some fresh food for the first night, including some brought fresh fruit to dessert. Perhaps with aApple banana or a snack on the first day or so would also help. They will not last long, but it would keep the number of days with gunpowder, and nodes to a minimum. If you do not eat, do it yourself, you could probably sell an apple to someone who walks the opposite direction from you is for a pretty good buck. The next time we will talk about clothes.

Making Djembe Drums From British Columbia Rainforest
For the past 35 years, my partner and I have world hand drums, djembe, congas, bongos, ashikos, played tabla and temple blocks. Mostly we did for the fun and the mystery plays of how the powerful sound affects us, the drummers, and those who hear it. We played in a single all-percussion band for a few years and found it wonderfully challenging and very very happy.
In all the years the idea of actually our own djembe drums never even once came to us,although it was a struggle at that time to buy a decent hand-carved djembe anywhere but Africa. We even traveled to Sierra Leone, West Africa in our quest, and spent several years teaching high school. At this time, 1980 was for white people to play and touch the drums and it was provoked uproar for a woman of any color do frowned upon, so. We made it back to Canada come with two drums one, a 14-inch sengui, from the Sierra Leone National Dance Troupe, the other a smallTourist Class djembe. We never got that one sound like a drum on all but one of the dance group is still in our collection and is a great little drum. Our next drum purchases came from a music store in Mexico, a pair of beautiful congas.
For long, perhaps 10 years, we were happy with them and with our ability to pound along with our favorite world music and reggae songs on the stereo. Then in about 94, we saw an ad for a 7-day African Drum Workshop with the last majorBabatunde Olatunji. We signed, pronto, and at the end of learning about a whole world, we had no idea existed for Drummers: Drum language. I have written an article about this on our Web site djembe drum, so I do not go into this adventure in drums here. However, it was in this workshop that we Trini "another fabulous Trinidad" lead drummer named met 'Sanga'. "Sanga o The Valley" was his official full name on his business card. We had 3 small children (now drumming is not anything we do!) Andwas planning a trip to Tobago (Trinidad & Tobago) for the coming winter. Meeting Sanga and he is from T & T was a great coincidence, / sign for us that our trip was intended to go ahead. Sanga gave us the contact details of his close contacts in Tobago, which was an excellent drummer, a great guy and a drum carvers. We could not travel fast enough from common. Sanga said that we should not even our own drums with us, because his buddy was drums there for us. SWEET!
Now, everNOT dissappointed. We met with Sanga buddy come within a week, and we really connected immediately. Wayne Guerra and his wife Carol and 2 sons as old as we had such a great group of people. We have to play with Wayne & Carol drum band called Culture Stop and Wayne, each of us has a drum in a few days so we could get really into it. Drumskins Holy smoke! Can these guys play. The way they played their music drum so tightly choreographed, with all signals and drum patternCommuniques all built differently in each song. We quanta on this trip in terms of our skills and knowledge Drum jumped up, and we were even able to tape our sessions drum and actually write down the rhythms that we learned from Wayne.
The most extraordinary, what we had learned, but how to carve, Skin & tune djembe, joon joon & Ashiko and drums. Wayne has it all with hand chisels and injuries, goes on a log of mango wood like a madman at first slowly and then gradually making andSmoothing of the drum body, until it is exactly the right thickness of a feeling. We sat for days in the tropical heat, eating grapefruits from Wayne and Carol's back yard and watched him work. He was just a few years younger than us, but yikes! What a powerful intense effort he is able was, even if the heat has given us a couple of zombies all day, until the sun went down. They were all so when it comes to their performances, including drum, some say bleeding coming from different placesfrom the strains of it. We have been humbled and impressed. Their sound was incredible.
We have measured as Wayne and out of welded steel rings that our freshly soaked goatskin drum would be too much of our new bodies be observed. It was really hypnotic, the whole scene. One inch wide strip of scrap materials were torn from some little old Teddy, "and then the long, thin strips were then wrapped around and soften the metal bands and the connection between the rings and comfortable that the ropewould pull the skin taut. Very pleasant to work. It's kind of cool, looks like the pattern on the fabric, when it cut and then packaged in its "own edges.
The heat really for the next stage, which lifted the rope through the rings on the top pair, and in the smaller single ring at the bottom of the drum is bulging body tissue itself. The upper and lower rings are then closer together through the woven / knotted rope that is made more and more closely associated with each node. Waynespent a whole afternoon of his life teaches us that node. Again and again. And again. It was getting difficult for us, although they showed us dozens of times. We blamed it on the heat. We all laughed for hours. When we finally got there, we were amazed at the genius and simplicity of the whole process. Wayne has to sing a little song out of it to remind us. Under, over, under and around. It went on.
It is the tightening of the skin that really strenuous part ismaking, drum and tuning. MAN do you have ever had in the last 6 knots drag that to get the skin firm enough. A woman from me free to those taking part. I have no objection will be treated differently than the guys again. My partner, a guy was not so lucky and actually broke a few parts of itself, always hand how hard you pull, brace your 2 feet just to the drum body and then pulls the rope with a piece of hard to keep you remember to hold. CorrectBreathing has not practiced so tear the eardrum. (Or your stomach!) The new drum is massaged and played only a bit from the node moves to make the skin tighter and tighter. Finally, our drums were ready to play, and we went nuts, like a pair of colts published in clover. All of this made big drum, but we had come on the way to the game.
And we do not play until it was time for our family to pack BC Canada again. We were not to exceed 2 months, and that was about allthe heat we could. page Beach or no beach, it's really, really, really hot at the equator. We made plans to have Wayne and Carol come to stay with us at our place. Perhaps during a tour of shows and drum workshops to southern BC. Our new drums came on the long flight back home runs, 3 flights, 20 hours. CAP!
It would be another year before making Wayne's' drum lessons we would call a part of the psyche, which takes us to carve a strong urge, and the skin over the drums. We carved our collection ofDjembe drums from the heartwood of Douglas fir trees here on our area of Vancouver Iceland rain forest. One of our over one hundred years old Douglas fir trees of the year died. It was 4 feet wide at the base, a lot of heartwood in a couple of big drums. We did not have a joon joon set in our collection and this tree looked like it could definitely be a few joon joon have in him. We dreamed of a mammoth joon joon so it would be a special shopping you need to get it at concerts. On the dayFor the first time was in our court to consider it as our tree, a big old helmet landed on the dead woodpecker drum up and cried all day. The woodpecker is the special wild animal that is a totem for drummers around the world. Maybe you've never thought of it, but the woodpecker is a drummer. Often beat out designs to us and each other on rooftops, trees and even our metal wind vane. We knew that we do it then. And we did.
The tree provided enough wood forthirty-three Djembes and two giant size joon joon requires that two elk skins, heads for them. Goats are not so great.
My partner has the first three out of hand, but then had to change the methods of power tools are a little bit when his ugly got carpal tunnel in the wrist issue. Then we have chain saws, chisels, hand sander, reciprocating saw, and even power Sanders at the end. The drums, he was splendid to look at all of them, but only about half of themnever to produce that certain popping sound of a large djembe. We never find out what had gone wrong with those, or what was exactly what the good. Surely we have learned from each drum, above all, that is, what in your hearts, thoughts, which determines the spirit and tone of each drum. It was amazing to hear the different personalities of each new djembe, as it was carved, smoothed skinned and coordinated. We always had the feeling that the spirit of our drums, as we played, but it wasremarkable. They appeared in this world, had come as our children, placed with their parents similarity of their own individual personalities and natures of the shadows.
It was certainly interesting to make the African djembe drums & joon joon from the wood of the Canadian rain forest trees, with the skills we learned on the Caribbean island of Tobago. The BC-Douglas fir tree is an excellent sounding drum. The djembes us from her very strong, powerful voice and had just producedloud popping alive notes like mango Wayne "mahogany wood and drums. We were proud and floored, really, that we go even further and make djembe drums with our own hands. Our white skin, and North America pampered childhood had not left us completely ' drum unusable "after all. It took just shows how much sweat had to be shed, and then pushed into the production of the enormous physical, emotional and intellectual effort.
Thanks again Wayne Guerra, Drum Master, for your patience,Humor and love, while a few people who taught us how unlikely the drum, and then how to make a drum. The ability to make a drum skin, a drum and a drum tune has changed the level at which we play the drum. I do not know why, there was only us as a deep connection and understanding of who we are and who the drum in the drum world.
Thus djembe drummers, do not be afraid to try a drum. I promise you, you are skinning and carving your own drum you a better drummer. These days, thereThere are many books and videos, how to make a djembe, and workshops all over the world. Strongly recommended that at least a drummer in your life of the drum. They open up a whole new Valley of the drum in yourself and you will not regret it.
Diane Lennox
We carved our collection of djembe drums from the heartwood of Douglas fir trees right here on our Vancouver Iceland rainforest. For our construction, which ended the power we need tools to get out the bulk of the materialthe center of the djembe drum body, and then the rest of the carving is by hand. This is a test of strength and I very much recommend to all young dudes out there to prove their masculinity through acts of force and strength. We have a variety of hand drums and about half of them turned out very hot, the other half is so so. Surely we have learned from each drum, above all, that is, what in your heart believe that the spirit and tone of each drum provides. It was amazingto hear the different personalities of each new djembe, as it was and matched skin. We always had the feeling that the spirit of our drums, as we played, but it was remarkable how they seemed to like our children are born with the stamp of us, the parents, the shade provided by the in-born nature of beings which we had brought forth.
There are several videos of people playing djembe drums from around the world, including a two-year boy. To view the other videos, simply click the menu button on the videoBe the list of players and djembe drums videos glide.
Springboks V British and Irish Lions - Test Series Preview
The Springboks take on the British and Irish Lions in an eagerly awaited 3 test series begins in Durban on this Saturday 20 June. Since 1997, the Boks have been waiting for their chance to avenge himself on the Lions to a humiliating 2-1 series loss.
There are many things that make '97-series like these. Both were taken at a time when the world champion Boks were. Both teams were coached by McGeechan Lions, and both have the series so much SpringboksFavorites.
This time around, I think, from a very different picture. At the moment South Africa has so many talented players to choose from, a lot of experience and plenty of game breakers. Last Time Around South Africa had a new coach (Carel du Plessis) and a captain, that was totally inexperienced at international level, Gary Teichmann. This time around the Boks have a solid team that could coach and have been concentrating on this series for a long time. The Lions, well they always have astrong team in a position to move to 4 nations, but on paper, they simply can not keep up with the class of South Africans.
The first game sets the tone for the series, and since the Springboks last time out, losing the first game and the pressure intensifies as something you have never experienced. The downside for the Boks, is the lack of playing time for most of their players, but it also has advantages as well rested and fresh. The large number of Bulls players should deny thatand confidence will rub off, bring on the rest of the team.
The Lions under McGeechan, will again rely on the Boks having to physically at the front. They will come look for set-piece dominance and precise goal. In Stephen Jones and Ronan O'Gara try sharper than the shooters Boks, but not so much scoring ability in the width. There are still some dangerous backs, but they do not have the class across the backline, or experience in dealing with them against the top-classOpposition.
The Lions must win to go hard from the first game in Durban, since the series then moves to Highlands for the remaining 2 test matches. They fight to win 1, let alone 2 in height so that they have to go up 1-0 in Durban to have any chance in the series. The element of surprise is their best hope.
I'm picking the Springboks to 3:0-Sieg. The Boks should be too forward. The crowd will not dominate, but she put her own way enough. The lineout with Matfield andBotha is much better than the Lions and then around the field the Boks are faster and stronger ball carriers. While Pienaar has its critics, and many believe that he did not, I'm picking him really shine in this series. In my opinion he is a great flyhalf and has all the skills. He has done a lot of really working on his kicking, and that is helping the Boks.
The rest of the Springbok backline is set too good for the Lions, with Havana, to a blind turn to have one. He is a man of greatOpportunity, and he will prove that again. The one area that concerns me is defense, but I'm sure Mr. Steyn will be solid if not spectacular. That is enough.
I can not wait for kickoff on Saturday, I'm sure it will be mean to a lot of physical things and a lot of fireworks. But at the end of all, the Boks will be victorious by about 15 points ...

Irrelevant is the British royal family?
A member of the royal family, finally said something about the disappearance of little Madeleine McCann, a full 14 days after she disappeared. Members of the family in August of this year are not known for their statements on the public stage, but it was assumed that if there is a real tragedy, especially on a personal basis, we expect our royal family, to provide leadership, especially in compassion, care giving, and assessment of the situation. In spite of this terrible tragedy for the family and theincredible amount of attention he has drawn, Prince Andrew, she took two weeks to tell something, and it was not planned. He broke his set text in Scotland to be a man. One could be cynical and say that what he always wanted to speak to this case would not had so much media coverage, he made a wise decision!
The royal family is becoming an anachronism in today's classless world of high-tech response, individual expression and instantOriginal sound. The queen still publicly medals and honors on the British Empire, but where the kingdom is in these days is completely beyond me based. Paradoxically, she is head of a community that heavily multi-racial, but it's not a single black person in her entourage, no black consultants and certainly no black people in their palace. In addition, this community is under the oppressive symbols of an unjust "empire" that stubbornly remains a burden to takePlace of honor in our language, however offensive it is to certain parts of the British community. There is no move to get rid of the archaic, divisive and racist symbolism to share their subjects, despite their important role in the community.
In the Dark Ages
The problem with the royal family is that it does not change with time. Members are still trying to traditional, inequitable conduct in a situation that has long avoided forTradition. Diana, it offers a golden opportunity to bring the monarchy up to date with current expectations, but her death meant that her sons are the best hope for change. In a world where the blog is king, there is no place for silence from our royal family, nothing else, they govern themselves in our rapidly developing world simply by doing nothing. That would explain why, has, with the exception of the Queen, William and Harry, her popularity fell drastically, and only a few people could see them turning toEvents. We need a care, expressive royal family, not just there for the tourists, but the one which will lead on his own to begin with, which has 10 million pounds per year, the public sector to deliver to them in the dark ages to justify keeping.
In its current form, the royal family is irrelevant in any case, since all the trappings, without the substance. As a strong royalists who do not want to see, England has become a republic, for me it would be nice to see one of the leading family, the more in line with ourModern, accessible, inclusive and much more appreciate the benefits of technology to get their own message to convey, that is no longer governed by a colonial empire, but the expression of a modern society based on respect for the individual, regardless of class, race, religion or birth.

British Insurance Ltd V The Royal Air Force - The War Of The RAF roundel, now used as a logo
British Insurance Ltd, a UK company is directed by Simon Burgess, are marked with a blue, red and white "target" logo, which also strangely familiar, like the RAF (Royal Air Force), "La Ronde" used on their aircraft.
The RAF roundel was first seen in 1914 on the underside of the Royal Flying Corps planes on the Western Front. The roundel was used to distinguish the RAF planes from the German planes. One would have thought that if the traditional Union flag was usedbeen seen as a cross as used on enemy aircraft. This could obviously have disastrous consequences!
British Insurance Ltd used to use a "target" as a trademark in 2005, but now have problems with the RAF, who recently surprised many by making a range of swimwear and underwear with the "dance" icon to run.
In January 2007, Defense Minister Des Browne turned the brand British Insurance Ltd's application on the grounds that theroundel is "instantly recognizable" as the RAF symbol.
The RAF said British Insurance Ltd as an objective description of the mark was a "farce". The RAF protected the cockade in 1999, but not for use in the field of financial services, such main British Insurance Ltd, the mortgage payment protection insurance is.
Simon Burgess, has now been replaced by filing a counterclaim, the opportunity to rebut the retaliation, the RAF to the traditionalBrands.
Simon Burgess believes Swimsuit Models sporting the logo has its own brand a favor and cheapens the whole picture by British Insurance Ltd
Simon Burgess has been doing with the words "We have built a considerable reputation, and all swimwear, is quoted by the terrible thought Defense Minister Des Browne is wearing a bikini"

A Guide to British Employment Law
If you have an employer or an employee, or even a lawyer, then you may have come about employment law. The following article explains the history of the laws of employment in the UK and the impact of the legislation, which has occurred over the years.
British Labor - The Industrial Revolution
The British industrial revolution, the introduction of legislation on employment in the UK led. The reason was that due to the introductionof industrialization and the use of machines for the first time the workers were more often working at more and more hours. The average working day before the Revolution was between 11-14 hours, but this had risen, with some workers do not work less than 16 hours per day.
British Labor Law - Employment
In 1833 was passed a new law on employment hours. This limited miners no longer than 12 hours of work per day and children who are only 10 hours. In1848, a further reduction has occurred, limiting all employees, only 10 hours.
British Employment Law - The Factory Acts
The Factory Acts (1802 and 1833), along with Master and Servant Act in 1832 were the first laws to regulate employment in the United Kingdom.
Before 1960, the vast majority of British laws on employment on the Law of Contract. Since then, largely due to British participation in the European Union there arehas been significantly modified and by what is known as the "equality."
British Employment Law - The Equal Pay Act
As in the modern days, the Equal Pay Act of 1970 was an important turning point in the British occupation. Due to the radical nature of this law, it was not to come into force until 1972. When it did, but it brought much needed parity in pay and equality of women in the workplace.
British Employment Law --Labor Reforms
When the work came to power in 1997, they sat on the reform of employment laws, improved with a series of measures to improve conditions for workers. Perhaps the most important of these reforms was the introduction of the national minimum wage. In addition, subject to the new working time directive working time, breaks and paid annual leave.
The workers were also the first time offered better protection against discrimination based on age, religionor belief and sexual orientation and gender, race and disability.
Buy now more about the history of labor law, and it is affecting the workers, it is not found the time how it affects you?

Was Pakistan a British Creation?
The excitement in the BJP camp in India, triggered by LK Advani's recent remarks about Jinnah being a secular person and yet the founder of Pakistan, it seems to have subsided. What is the real, historical truth? Recently unsealed British top-secret archives provide a stunningly different version of what really happened during the disastrous partition in 1947, of India into three separate and distinct entities.
Before India's independence, it was widely believed that Indiawas not likely to survive as an independent nation. The Muslim League did not think of dream of restoring Muslim political dominance in India and was originally a division of the country into independent Muslim states. The league felt, in fact, that partition mean that Muslim power would be withdrawn two distant corners of the subcontinent ... from many an embarrassing retreat for Islam, which came 800 years of conquest as enjoyed. Since Muslims were nearly 40 percent ofPopulation of pre-partition British India and which were non-Muslims in countless religions and castes fragmented, the concept of restoring a degree of Muslim dominance and control over the entire subcontinent seemed to be tempting.
According to the generally accepted ideas, in India and Pakistan, Mohammed Ali Jinnah was the architect of Pakistan. Actually, it was the British who for a referendum in every province of the subcontinent, threatening behavior, and it wasJawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel arising as to propose the pressure, setting the stage for Lord Mountbatten, the British Viceroy of India, to formally partition plan, and Congress and Muslim League will accept it. On 20 February 1947, British Prime Minister Clement Attlee, announced that "Britain would consider handing over power to the existing provincial governments". This left the Congress no other choice than to accept,Partition.
Thought at that time very few people that India is not only survive, but actually one of the world's strongest and longest democracies and that Sardar Patel, the Iron Man of India "would succeed in orchestrating the almost unimaginable task as fast determined to integrate and prosper over 600 former princely states into the Indian Union, at the time of independence in 1947.
According to Narendra Singh Sarila, the ADC Lord Mountbatten1947, whose forthcoming book makes the truth, the partition of India was actually decided in February, 1946. This means that it is not Sir Cyril Radcliffe, the British chairman of both commissions, the Boundary partitioned India and created East and West Pakistan, who masterminded the plan. He arrived in India for the first time only on 8 July 1947. Of 17 August 1947, just two days after the date of independence of India Mountbatten was presented by the Boundary Commission AwardIndian politicians.
In fact, Jinnah, the "Quaid-i-Azam" could not be more than his compatriots console do ... "We have been squeezed as much as possible and no later than shock, we have received, the award of the Boundary Commission. It is unjust, incomprehensible and even perverse Award. It may be wrong, unjust and perverse, and it can not a court but a political price, but we have decided to keep it up and it is binding on us. As honorable people we must think of him.It may be our misfortune but we must go with them a blow with greater strength, courage and hope. "Lord Wavell, then Viceroy of India had all along encouraged the concept of partition, and recommended that as far back as February 1946, a truncated Pakistan - excluding one third of the Punjab, Bengal, and almost half of all Assam - which since the final blueprint for the awards to be enforced the partition of India.
Jinnah may actually have been only a tacticalTo use instrument for the British against the Congress. During the Cold War, it came later, between the West and the Soviet Union, it was no surprise, enlightened politicians, worldwide, when Pakistan became a much-used basis for overt and covert confrontation between the West and the Soviets and their allies, orVictims.

Springboks Vs British and Irish Lions - 2nd Test Preview
The second test match between the Springboks and the British and Irish Lions will take place on Saturday afternoon at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria.
Both teams will be looking for significant improvements after their first test effort, but for the Lions, they have to go the hard way. After the first game in Durban, at sea level, had the Lions move to Cape Town for their mid-week game. Conditions in Cape Town have been wet so far, and are completely different, what theycan be expected until at altitude in Pretoria. They will remain in Cape Town for the week, and only one days stay in Pretoria before the test, to try to limit the effects of altitude.
Play in the highlands around the fortress Loftus and Ellis Park, the challenge is just the height of intellectual as it is physical. This is (Afrikaans area where the rows are very passionate and not very friendly to) after the game, and you must agree with the attempt to learn to cope with the flight tothe ball through the thin air.
And if you can, that sir, it is always burning in the lungs that hits you about 20-30 minutes after the hunt for the Springboks. One days prior to travel, there are the mental games that you ask, "how will I in the second half to be finished?" Mentally, the Lions are needed to the highlands in the same time as the Boks because they now get to that mental uncertainty in the equation.
The fact that so many bulls are in the Bok side alsoshould not be underestimated. The Boks are growing and extra arm and leg it to appear on the level, and the Bulls players love Loftus. It will motivate them to inspire and believe them to mental relaxation that they win and win well. If the Lions thought that was winning in Durban, hard, good things only in a different level.
The Boks will be so much better after their first hit out for the year. Even if they had not known exactly where they stood, but they can learnfrom work and about their own shortcomings. The defensive midfielder will be better, more so with the inclusion of Schalk Burger.
The site, Pieter de Villiers has named is not the strongest team in my opinion. It was interesting to go to a Div 5-2 on the bench as early as the week I wondered about the possibility of scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar for the position as Morne Steyn is also in the side. I also thought of a 5-2 split on the bench. The only difference isthat my bank reserves would not Chiliboy and Andries Bekker.
If the Lions have a chance against the Springboks have, they must do so on their backs and the creation of opportunities through their midfield. The Boks sees no risk to play rugby at first, referring to the territory and dominance by the forwards. It's a bit one-dimensional, but it worked in 60 minutes in Durban, and there they were with the World Cup in 2007.
The Lions were able to exploit the weak defense of the Jacobsby Robert O'Driscoll and create the opportunities. But they have some clinical conclusion, in contrast to last week, where the money and cooperation opportunities slaughtered 4-5. Schalk Burger is also on land the cover defense meaning less chance of the second phase.
If the Lions can actually start and take the lead, the Boks can feel the pressure. But the Boks start well in general, and, if it ahead, it will come back hard. Just as we month there with the Bulls before you. I amPicking a more cohesive display from both sides, but especially the Boks. You may also start growing like a house on fire, and an extra arm and leg, with the support of a strong, passionate should amount of Loftus and a 10-point lead into the break. The second half, where the pain for the Lions, as the pressure and the level begins to act to begin and I am supporting Boks 20! Look for a strong performance from the Bulls players, especially Spies and Du Preez.
This 12th Have taken place in MayYears, but eventually we will clarify the matter ...
