Farrell was a lion
In what way?
In the same way as Townsend

Yeah, no.

Punter15

Dave Rennie. I feel SH coaches don't really "get" the Lions, neither do Leaguies like Farrell really (altho he tried). I'd like to see Townsend, himself a former Lion, get the gig but obviously that depends on Scotland improving results, particularly against Ireland. Farrell or Borthwick seem most ...

Maaaaaaaate

Please no. Don’t make me wait four years for another load of turgid crap and terrible selections.

I suspect he will and that it’ll be even worse as his boy will join him on the coaching ticket too.

Punter15

Good stuff Da, pretty fair.

Where do the Farrelli sit?

Punter15

Andy Farrell has been one of the worst coaches in memory, and that’s saying something. Lord Bald wants a word... At least he had the excuse of a pretty decent oppo. Everything Farrell did was against what the Lions stands for and he just treated half the squad appallingly while serving up turgid cr...

Jesus, just hook Aki and put Earl in his place. Anything will be better.

Punter15

Farrell again. :uhoh: That was f**king awful from Kinghorn, both the pass then giving up. :lol: faz shovelled him shite and bundee was offside Faz absolutely shovelled him shite, but then he needed to hold the ball, and not give the fudge up when the ball was live. f**king Farrell. Both of them.

Worst selected

Punter15

Read the telegraph article I linked to - its f**king weird. There's nothing weird about it. He is a fantastic player with a playing record that very few can better. What he does on the field isn't hotstepping and flashy breaks, but he is a proven winner, a proven captain, a proven motivator of any ...

Milking that better than Jenna Jameson

Jones pulled instead of Aki and Lowe still on. fudge off Andy

This pack inside him and Aki outside, but yeah, all his fault.

Lowe is hopeless. Will still get picked next week.

Punter15

Great half of rugby in fairness. Not sure if the Aussies have another 40 like that in them, but they needed to turn up there and they did. Lions have more to come in off the bench though. Credit to the likes of Gibson-Park, Conan and Curry steadying the ship there when the Lions were struggling and...

Can we not ban Welsh posters for the next two weeks Do we really need to read how shit the match is or how pointless it is the entire match thread irrespective of the actual contest in front of them? The Lions is about four teams joining together as one, and we shouldn't denigrate Wales. For the We...

All the home nations play France at least once a year, often win anyway, so what's the point? There is absolutely nothing special about this. As i understand it, the whole point is touring the other side of the world, not somewhere you can f**king swim to. A bit different when you took weeks to get...

Scotland suffering a collective case of Beadle fingers, and a 9 who runs away from having to tackle.

Punter15

Scotland 17-0 down after 30. Georgians big strong lads duffing them up a bit. Couple of YCs not helping.

Punter15

I think it's nonsense to blame the back 3 for what was a complete fall off the cliff in the second half. unforgivable that they couldn't get out of their own half for 30 minutes. Don’t think anyone is - they were poor all game by the standards expected of each. The second half step down was down to...

Second Test team: Genge Sheehan Furlong Itoje McCarthy Beirne Curry Conan Gibson-Park Russell Lowe Tuipolotu Ringrose Hansen Kinghorn/Keenan (Kinghorn if fit) Cowan Dickie/Kelleher (LCD if fit) Porter Stuart Pollock van der Flier Mitchell Smith Aki WTF did Jones do wrong ? Not be Irish.

Far too much cognitive bias when it comes to VDM. Would have done far better than Lowe.

He's made 3 bad errors which were all unforced. I think his place is most under threat for the 2nd test.

Lowe not up to much either.

Punter15

It’s Gra-hee-me

Punter15

No offense to USA fans but I'm hoping for a fair bit of rotation. If Atkinson plays 10 he needs experience around him. USA losing at home to Spain for them is a bad result considering historically they'd win that easily. Something like this? 1. Rodd 2. Langdon 3. AOF 4. Coles 5. CCS 6. Underhill 7....

Scotland win it at the death. Lovely blindside move from Cowan, good yards from Watson, and a shove to get over.

Punter15

I think you have to go with the two Scottish centres now also. Everyone knows the Aussies are going to target Jones' defence all game so the best hope here is probably having a familiar centre partner alongside him. The only issue then is that, if Farrell is bringing Ringrose back in for the second...

Yes they could, it just wouldn't be very good. Which is perhaps what is ultimately required. You can't build rugby in any nation starting from the top and hoping for something akin to "trickle down economics" to happen to the player base. It's bullshit. It's a short term quick fix band aid that hur...

Think of those guys on the Eggchasers podcast - Squidge is at the other end of the insight spectrum.

So many of these teams that the ‘experts’ post have what must be deliberate nonsense in them to drive more clicks and shares.

Certain journalists* have built entire careers on it.

*except Stephen Jones who is just a genuine horrible f**king moron.

A line-up that screams midweek team. Fairly clear now that Farrell sees yesterday's team as the probables with maybe one or two at most out of this lot having one last chance to make a case for selection for the first test. Obviously Keenan will come in at 15 if Kinghorn is indeed crocked, but othe...
