I'm not going to get too worked up about anyone's guess but I will say I'd bet good money on that not being the backrow (assuming everyone fit). Outside the backrow, it's a very possible side. I don't think Daly will be the FB but I get why he's gone for him. In Eddie Jones’ article in PR today he ...

That is one hell of a strong team! - at first I thought it was full strength. Congratulations to Jock on the captaincy to crown an outstanding season. (I think) George Blake and Louis Werchon are receiving their first caps: come on down, boys! Great to see Isaac Henry getting a run after a lot of t...

No Pollock? Is he scared of the Reds? What a scaredy cat.

Meow.

Yeah, if you land in remote Northern Australia and somehow make it to civilization, you can stay

Hansen tries hard, but was the 4th best winger on the pitch. He struggled to lock down a super rugby contract in his early 20s, and would struggle now.n He was largely invisible. Pollock looked good. I can now understand why plenty of people hate him. I'm going the other way. I thought his only ass...

Robertson, Swain, Pietsch enhanced their reputations there. Still think Swain should be the starting lock. Swain is having a good year. Very happy for the bloke He must of just done the basics well, lineouts and scrum were strong but I didnt see him otherwise in the loose. We need a ball carrying s...

Positive comments from Andy for the Hansen fan club The play of the day - I mean there were some fantastic tries, weren't there? - but the play of the day if you want to look what a Lion should do for his teammates was when Mack Hansen went up and down the field, end-to-end, never gave up, and foug...

Lovely.

I though yanks loved the First Amendment of the Constitution.

In the lead-up to the last Lions tour on Australian shores, Cvntron united for the first time. Things were said that, though accurate, would no longer be acceptable in the modern 'me too' world of 2025. Most keen-eyed observers have directly linked this event to the subsequent decline in Welsh and ...

Can you all see now why I was complaining about the lack of information to the general public regarding teams for this Saturday? 'Shut up and wait until Thursday,' I was told, 'Teams are never announced until then'. Here we are Thursday afternoon and still no announcement, and any Google search you...

That were diabolical.

I can't spake.

Don't come the raw prawn, Towny, Joe Schmidt said 5 players from the Wallabies Squad had already been named to stay with the Western Force - that means they were already there and could obviously keep training with their teammates. Why be cagey about naming them? The Lions already know who they are...

I know a few guys. Who are we taking out?
Is anyone as wit kant as ROG? Russell is a good candidate.
Surely their clappy wit kant of a captain?

That's an idea but he's not someone who will win you a game. Plus, I like the idea of someone maiming a Scot.

We have 4 test locks - might as well use them in the absence of quality backrowers. Fair enough, just checked the squad and Vest appears to be the only other option. Can't find any update on Liam Wright, it would be great to have him coming off the bench. Would seem an ideal time to select some jac...

24 years ago this week Duncan McRae got 9 or 10 Aussie punches in against the smallest man on the oppositions team, when he was pinned on the ground and unable to defend himself. Unfortunately Farrell hasn’t selected Marcus Smith for this match so you’ll have to go for the next most annoying weakli...

No wonder they were flogged.
The west is a graveyard for professional rugby players. A place where you go to watch your career die.
I'm not sure that's the case; especially as the Force have 9 players in the Wobs' squad, which is more than the Tahs or Reds.

You can shut the fuck up.

The victory over the Lions by the wonderful Puma B team convinced me of 2 things: 1 That Joe Schmidt has little to worry about with the Lions attack: we would smoke them everywhere from 15 right through to the loose forwards. :lol: FFS this is a side that hasn't played together before and they all ...

Indeed. American liberals are conservative when compared to others around the world.
That's not actually true.

Your most "batshit insane" lefty in the USA is a centrist in Australia.

Just watched it then. Always going to be some cohesion issues but Argies basically owned the wings. So many metres down each side (and tries!). Lions have a bit to work on particularly their counter attack defence. Australia aren't shy of having a crack deep in their half. Great win by the Pumas, es...

Let's have it.

Show me your tubbies.

I'll start.

Genuinely terrifying man. Bakkies would have been quick with a slur too, because...you know. And we all know what happens when you call Ian Roberts a slur.

They would be a few people richer than Elon. People you've never heard of, sheiks etc. Quite possibly trillionaires who aren't in the public eye.

It's the team that faces England, really.

Ridiculous to have JAS on the wing or even at fullback. You want that man to be touching the ball a lot.

I didn't watch him closely but I thought he went quite well on the eoyt? Maybe the high shot and ban counted against him?

He played one test and was red carded in the first half.

Don't have any major issues. Kerevi has been dominant in a B-Grade competition but is past it. As is Marika.

Here it is.

Tough for LSL. I dare say he'll come into contention as the series goes forward and possible injuries happen.

JAS on the wing is a reckless use of capital. Never mind the actual football. 12/13/15 or not at all. Corey Toole would be the man for the Wallabies on wing. Why waste the kids obvious skills on finishing? He’s paid to create. Interesting comment about the wing being a waste of capital - I’d wager ...

Mohamed Sinwar’s body was literally found in a tunnel under a hospital last month. f**king idiot . Meanwhile, Channel 14 in Israel is reporting we are now getting involved.

No doubt. But Israel is being very directed in its messaging that their beef is with the regime not the people . The operation is even named Rising Lion to hammer this point home.
