British Lions: Five reasons why losing 2-1 is better than losing 3-0

1.  Saving Face.  Unless you are competing in a "Who is Most like Rob Andrew" competition, the smaller the losing margin the better.  Always.

2.  History.  When looking back at this tour,  losing 3-0 will make it sound a lot like 2005, which would be a gross injustice to everyone involved.

3.  Nausea.  Should 2 occur, I will be forced to remember Alastair Campbell and The Power of Four and will then belm all over my laptop

4.  Whitewash.  If you cannot win then avoiding this is always the goal (unless you are a Daz salesman).

5.  Effect on Accident & Emergency Capacity.  I, like many many others, will be in the pub watching the game and if they lose 3-0 it will put a downer on the rest of my day.  I'll then be forced to switch from beer to brandy, which will make me lairy;  I'll get into an argument with the wrong bloke over a beermat, he will be forced to stove my head in with one of his giant tattooed hands, thus leaving me to clog up an already overworked A&E on a Saturday night. So, Lions, if you won't win for your fans then at least win for the poor doctors and nurses at Wythenshawe Hospital.
