What's the likely Brumbies team? Guessing they won't push the Lions so much this time given the amount of players not released from the Wobs. Well hopefully Cale is right. If s something like 1. Van nek 2. Nos Longeran 3. Big Feo 4. Neville 5. Shaw 6. TTT 7. Scott 8. Cale 9. Lonergan 10. Meredith 1...

You're really not clear on this Lions concept, are you?

At least you've finally worked out how many Welsh players are on the tour.
You really feel part of it do you
That's sort of how the Lions works, yes.

I'm sorry you'll never get to experience it.

Toole and Kellaway back to their respective teams for the Lions matches. Guessing that means Kellaway no longer first choice. Jorgo, Daugunu and Pietsch now the preferred wings and bench? Either Kellaway and tupou going back, means Tahs will be something like 1. Lambert 2. Vailanu 3. Tupou 4. Amote...

To someone who had an eyesight impediment maybe but whatever your views on how well he played, invisible he was not. 12 carries, 10 passes, 85m made (second highest in the game), 2 linebreaks, 3 offloads, 10 tackles and for his fan club 6 turnovers to the opposition. He also had a pen and two kicks...

Did I get that wrong? Are there welsh players in the team?
All British and Irish maaate.

(Yes)

so many welsh

If the team was structured differently they could get money out of pacificaus sports. That would require them playing way nore games in tonga and Samoa and not just being a nz development team.

My understanding was that the Sunwolves were already dead. Maclennan was a proven f*ckwit, so there's that. Don't forget that the weak-gutted cnut actually drank the milk.

Fez and Paisami released for the Reds clash against the Lions...

The NZ public in general are token rugby fans. They like seeing the all blacks win and muttering something about underarm, which is a bit bizarre, to be honest… The majority couldn’t name SR squad players let alone a single player in a full strength French 15. “Is that caveman bloke still playing??...

A complete disgrace to send down a C team, half of the squad are making their debuts. TV ratings will plummet, ad revenue will be down, and it makes a mockery of the entire thing.

Harry Potter off to the Tahs... They have some decent signings, but still need to strengthen their tight five. A winger will do nothing to help that team.

It is truly remarkable how Rugby Australia, despite having about 5% of the votes in World Rugby, possesses so much power. Are NH types only able to argue their case on line?
