It's all very odd. Faz muttered something post match about Fazlet possibly not being available due to jet lag /protocols. First I'd heard of there being such things. Unless he ran two separate considerations into the one. It was more a dismissive answer to the Q posed about whether Fazlet would be ...

Craig Casey absolutely should be with the Lions.

That's a unique take on Mitchell, cam. I'm with Cam on this. He has a great skill set, but feck me he makes too many wrong decisions and slow decisions. His speed/snipe cover a multitude of meh. He steps. He shuffles. His midfield get eaten alive. He's not perfect but he was able to change his play...

This sickie might well turn out to be the best pass he's pulled back all year.

Lads the English crowing about Ireland being Dad's Army is getting harder to defend after today's Lions effort. Bealham was solid. VDF was workmanlike, but. His oppo was deservedly MOM. The rest who started screamed dirt track. Lads off the bench showed up reasonably. Tadhg Beirne I suspect would li...

Every Lions tour , ahead of the first test selection, there is a game where too many players are playing for themselves.

This is looking like one of those nights, bar the front row union, tbf. Gents all

It's comical, but you play the clown you're dealt, and we are NOT doing that well enough.

Lions back 5 of the pack are playing like individuals. One or two of them like leggy jaded ones.

If that doesn't change, the Tahs have a shot.

Well, every Irish player on the park is doing their level best to play themselves out of a Lions test starting shirt. Parochially abject. Finley is still doing well. It"'s a solid effort, but it's not 'fire lit under him'. And as Stats pointed out to my criticism of VDF on the game thread, VDF is m...

Just the 14 tackles so far. Poor.

He is soak tackling what comes his way and making zero impression on ANY breakdown.

Leinster lads are only too delighted to have Fazlet wibble to chuck around to distract from the fact that there is nobody questioning just how deep on the depth chart you'd need to go to find Prendergast.

Masterstroke by Faz. The media frenzy will now focus on Clan Faz, neither of whom will be featuring in a Test match, and the rest of the players can get on with it.

Absolutely. And we seem to want to move the ball so Tui it is. He's also got more stamina.

100% this. Be mad to pick Aki over him.

Do refs (in Irish rugby anyway) have a union do turn to in a similar manner to the players union, or is it every ref for himself?
