The thing is, we're now at the point where even the supposed "journeymen" from Ireland have won more at international level than their rivals from the other three nations. Given England's lack of success in the last five years they were lucky to hit double figures in terms of squad picks to begin w...

I think- likely wrong- there's a set tour fee regardless of appearances, then win bonuses, and compensation to clubs?

How can Andy Farrell waffle on about the sacred Lions jersey at the same time as calling up some journeyman from Leinster? He should have called up a Welsh international for balance or something. Not this useless tub of lard. The thing is, we're now at the point where even the supposed "journeymen"...

This is why England supporters despise the Faz hype train.

At least Biggar hasn't lost his head, it was a pub team.

He'll get minutes midweek.

Even HGV drivers have to repay their training if they leave the employer early.

I wonder how many of these wonderful nhs angels pay back their student loans as well from the Gold Coast.

It'll get him on the property ladder anyway.

Can't be long until Faz calls up a third choice Irish prop.

DragsterDriver

Tuipolutou is a superb player, i knew he was good but he's a complete baller. Wouldn't be suprised to see units 10/12/13 and the irish backrow.

He made 14 tackles in 47 minutes of rugby as a 10. Something was at fault but it wasn’t him.
At fault for what?

Your 10 spending so long on the floor.

I also spent today’s game poolside in Croatia. Is that you in the Panama hat and orange speedos?!!!! I’m in Gradac I think?

That was me from the poolside in Croatia, I was going for it mind.

Nobody said he was shit. Only that sucking him off for that performance is hardly warranted. He was okay. He was decent, he was involved and didn't make egregious mistakes. But "outstanding ...

A beat up against a scratch team, should have been earlier in the tour.

Tuipolutau is such a tidy 12, would love him for england.

To be fair, he’s tackled like that his entire career, it’s a miracle he hasn’t had more of those.

He's had plenty too many- serious nerve damage already in one shoulder.
