Lions watchers have identified the new game played by the touring party to pass the time at interviews. Sound as camp as possible:
"There are the inevitable ice-breaking questions like 'Are you married?' or 'Do you have a girlfriend?' But soon you realise that we are all rugby boys together." -Stephen Ferris
"You have guys standing next to each other who have never played together before but that can press buttons previously not touched, something that is very exciting for the coaches." Ian Mc Geechan
"On the last two Lions tours, all the coaches wanted their pound of flesh and it meant you ended up staying on the training field too long."This time, the mix is better and players are not being flogged at the end of a long season." - Martyn Williams
"I didn't know what to expect, having not been in this situation before, but to see people from all the different countries coming together has been great." - Tommy Bowe
"I've been able to feed off guys like Shane, Lee Byrne and James Hook – they are world-class talents – and it's great for me to be able to train and play alongside these guys. You are always picking up things from them, whether in training or during games." - Tommy Bowe again
