Joey Barton is actually a big rugby fan and tweeted his thoughts on the squad announced yesterday along with some memories of being in New Zealand for the 2005 tour.
Yesterday, he also tweeted that he was considering running a competition to take one of his Twitter followers to Australia for this summer's tour, no ladies though.
Would you fancy going on the Lions tour with Joey Barton?
Might run a comp and take one lucky follower with me to Oz if I go? What do you reckon? #ladsontour #lions

If I go and manage to cadge some tickets(which I'm in the process of doing) I will run a comp and take one of the twizzolo's with me.

Comp will be running with a G.O.L.F rule. Sorry ladies...
