You literally called Furlong out as being basically the best TH in the world in the same post. :lol: (Which he absolutely is) Peak Henshaw is up there with the world's best 12s too.

My Lions rankings: 1. W Jones - 7, great workrate, well see if he's underpowered before HT 2. L Cowan-Dickie - 8, in great form and a real threat on the oppo ball 3. T Furlong - 8, as good as any TH in the world, but will need to prove it 4. M Itoje - 8, forget the Triple Clown, he raises his game a...

I think Lawes plays 6. Me too. I think it's Lawes or Beirne at 6, and the 1st Test will be a physical war. Beirne to come into the series later when finesse has more of a chance.

The most shocking bit for me was a match being completed without a weather interruption

Good day for the Irish players. Furlong - after a shocking missed tackle was solid in the scrum and active in the loose Beirne - was everywhere, maybe trying too hard with the hands once or twice Conan - good support running everywhere, pushing not-Toby? Henshaw - the standout back Murray - not real...

He will start the 1st test. A big game player like him will be given the start. Correct. Like Captain Sam last time around you know the big game players always step up.

On another topic: what is going on with TGH? He doesn't seem to be contributing anything at all. At the time there was a view that last year's Giro was a weak renewal. Certainly the subsequent form of the principals would support that. Didn't he crash on day one? Hasn't looked on his game all tour.
