    British Lions/Team Great Britain,whats the difference?

    Can a British person on the forums please explain what the big deal is about opposing Team Great Britain for 2012.You have the British Lions in rugby,its supposed to be an honour to done the red shirt and play for the Lions.How is that different to having a Great Britain team in the olympics?Isn't their a Great Britiain team in Rugby League?


    And I hate to point it out to the Irish,Welsh and Scottish folk,you 3 haven't been to a major tournament in how long???

    Plus in many other sports you only have one Irish team,how is this different?

    On a side note,there's a reason why England are in favour of such a team,just take the hint from this joke:

    QUESTION: Where does the England cricket stay when they're touring South Africa?
    ANSWER: With their parents!

    Who's opposing it? I think the vast majority are behind it. I mean for one David Beckham is wanting to captain the team, and Beckham has major clout. The fact the olympics are in London, it makes perfect sense to have a British team.

    The Scottish, Welsh and Irish FA's all oppose it as they feel it will diminish their own authority.

    The fact is that the players would most likely want to do it, but the football associations do not want to admit publicly that the team would largely be a predominantly English team. (Because we have a much stronger league, and a larger pool of talent to draw on)
