Lions XV after the Autumn Nations Cup

I am shocked that no-one has made this thread yet. For shame. PR itself has an article https://www.planetrugby.com/british-irish-lions-xv-to-face-south-africa-from-autumn-nations-cup-showings/ but not many comments. Also it forgets that Underhill exists, which is weird. No explanations, this is who ...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread

So what is Eddie thinking for Italy? I wonder if he will go with those with more experience to try to close out the 6n then bring new caps through later/as subs. If so is it: 1. Genge 2. George 3. Sinkler 4. Itoje 5. Launchbury 6. Curry 7. Underhill 8. Vunipola 9. Youngs 10. Farrell 11. May 12. Slad...

Re: British and Irish Lions XV for 2021

Its not a bad team. Some calls I would challenge though. Lock: I still think AWJ will go it he doesn't get a big injury. I am also not sure how far ahead of the other ENG locks Itoje will be. Back Row: B Vunipola was amazing a few seasons ago, and is still good, but I think he would have to pick up ...

I can't see a ratings thread, apologies if it has been done. But due to admiration of the England team effort, I'm making one anyway. Daly: 7. In some situations he looks great. Finishing, being on the end of the line. But really, he looks like a winger. No big or impressive tackles in defence (thin...
