00:00My name is Warren Ridley. I'm a semi-retired solicitor so I work sort of half the year and travel half the year and I'm from South Shields in England which is a little place in the north of England between Newcastle and Sunderland.
00:16To say the Lions beat the Australians. It's my first Lions tour. I've done a couple of World Cups and I've always wanted to do a Lions tour. So yeah, I thought Australia, great.
