Re: Lions Lions Lions
There isn't a version of the multiverse where VDM gets selected for the tests ahead of the other wing options, presuming all are fit.

Re: Lions Lions Lions
I'm surprised Bealham and Hansen are starting this one as you'd think they would want (and the media would want them) to play against the Brumbies. The fact that they aren't suggests you're probably right. Hanson is no where near a test side without injuries. Freeman is the 14 I think you've misrea...

Re: Lions Lions Lions
Furlong is younger and has fewer miles on the clock. Why do you think Furlong wouldn't be able to recover form when fully fit? Accepted that his niggle might harm his chances but otherwise? The 'trajectory' you speak of is injury not form related. Or are you just talking about the here and now for ...

Re: Lions Lions Lions
Most Irish fans would have Bealham close to level with Furlong at this stage (ahead this season but Furlong has hardly played). Only a fully fit and form proven Furlong should start the tests. And even if he starts the next three games, I'm not sure that's enough. I'm guessing he'll start this Sat ...

They'd be the handiest to get someone into camp ASAP.
Flying from Tblisi to Sydney might be a bit of a trek, though!
Edit, just checked Skyscanner there. Not too bad. Tblisi-Dubai. Dubai-Sydney. Thought there might be more connections.

Re: Lions Lions Lions
He has a massive body of work with the coaches as well, having been heavily involved with Ireland for years now, and been very successful.
While Furlong's peak was higher Bealham has been the better of the two for the last year.

Was watching Ryan closely after he came on earlier. Didn't seem to have much to do.
Was hoping he maraud around the place melting rucks, but the game didn't seem to go his way.

I get it from really tight pecks and generally poor shoulder mobility/range of motion.
Puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the underside of my forearm just beside the elbow.

Manky enough. Was nervous going in and full of adrenaline, found it tough to tread the line between being amped enough and too wound up to keep form.
Having gotten it once now, I probably won't be as wound up next time I attempt it.

Decent analysis and discussion of the strikes and geopolitical aftermath.
Still not clear just how much damage was done to the Fordo, but the strikes were ridiculously accurate.
