Following their historic series draw with the All Blacks, the British & Irish Lions celebrated with a solid drinking session and a game of everyone's favourite 'Boxhead'.
James Haskell who we didn't even have a nickname for, posted this photo on Instagram of a few members getting into their work.
A couple of points on this... Their choice of booze is pretty shocking! Where is the Liberty Brewing Knife Party and the Zeffer Cider?
And also judging by the photo and the universal rules of Boxhead, they are all terrible at the game.
Players sit around a table and roll the dice in turn. Dice Totals:
- 2 - double odds, see below
- 3 - person to left of roller drinks
- 4 - nothing
- 5 - roll one dice again, that's the number of drinks for everyone
- 6 - make up a rule
- 7 - thumbs up on table, last one in drinks
- 8 - penalty shot. Roll one dice, that's how much the shot glass is filled
- 9 - person to the right of roller drinks
- 10 - bathroom break. (until you roll a 10 you don't leave the table)
- 11 - Boxhead
- 12 - Boxhead, see below
Double Evens (i.e. two 2's):
Roller drinks (on top of any other applicable rules)
Double Odds (i.e. two 1's):
Everybody drinks (on top of any other applicable rules)
Boxhead:
If you roll an 11 or 12 you must wear the beer box on your head until either you roll another 11 or 12 (in which case it is taken off) or until someone else rolls an 11 or 12 (in which case it is given to the roller). When you are Boxhead you must drink whenever someone else drinks (excluding penalty shot).
Dice Off Table:
If you are dumb enough to roll one or both dice off the table, take the dice that were rolled off, and roll them again. This is the number of full shots that you must drink. Example: You roll both dice off table. You roll again and get a total of 12. Prepare to die. You must drink 12 full shots of the evil hard stuff.
