The Lions are currently in Hong Kong preparing for the first game of the tour and by all accounts, the heat over there is ridiculous. There have been plenty of photos of the Lions trying to cool off with water dispensing fans but this post on their official Facebook page gives you a whole new insight into the humidity.
The Lions will be wearing ice vests? Maybe it wasn't the brightest idea to play a game in condtions akin to hell. And losing 5kg in a session seems like an absurd and dangerous amount. Do you think it's true? Given the Lions past mishaps with social media maybe we should take this claim with a pinch of salt.
The players don't seem to be enjoying the weather a whole lot either.
Safe to say Hong Kong is like a city wide steam room! #humid
