The show is on the road - the stash is in the bag

"The show is on the road" declared Lions tour manager Gerald Davies this morning as all but one of the 36-man squad gathered at their plush Surrey base to continue their preparations for the forthcoming tour of South Africa.

So let the madness begin - first daft photo of the tour has Ronan O'Gara, Nathan Hines, Riki Flutey and Stephen Jones relaxing on some of the 7,500 items of adidas kit the squad will be transporting to SA.

We are assured that "each member of the best equipped Lions team ever will have at least 80 pieces of personalised adidas training-wear and match-wear in his kitbag."
