British Lions players will earn over £25,000 each if they whitewash Australia on their tour Down Under this summer.

Not much considering the effort that goes into these things. Having seen detailed footage of the South Africa tour, I wouldn't begrudge them double that amount, when you consider how much footballers earn for a standard week.

Can't wait for the Lions matches, much more enjoyable to watch than most other rugby for some reason.

Far too muck, lads who play rugby are just those who weren't good enough to play football
