Exile returns, from err Exile to bring you his latet poetic offering. Has sir Clive got a plan B.... Now all of Wales was quite put out
with clivey's fortyfour,
coz we felt our entire squad
was knocking on the door.

but clive instead picked Englishmen,
and some well passed their best,
and most think these will make the squad
for the opening test.

but I think this a cunning plan,
the details I'll now share.
But Kiwi spies are all around
so we had best take care.

Now clive knew the attrition rate
this tour would be high,
and knew many would be heading home
long before july,

and he didn't want to risk our boys
too early in the day,
and wanted English fans feeling good,
by watching their boys play,

but now he'll start to bring them out
our Welsh boys, one by one,
while all think he'll play english style
and won't have the backs to run.

then when the lions side is named
to all the world's surprise,
men of Wales will fill the shirts,
that line up before our eyes

Of course they'll keep O'Driscoll in
to lead the Celtic clan,
and just to stop them crying,
a single English man.
