Who the fudge is Seb Davies?

Also it's fu c king great that a stadium like that gets a Lions match against a provincial XV. Yeah, if only the likes of NZ would repay the favour to some of our clubs when they come north. They come and play Munster. Australia too Mumster had to pay BIG bucks for that. The Lions will receive noth...

They're both 13s. We can't be playing players out of position like in 2005 against this mob. They're both predominantly 13's, but JD has won lions test matches from 12. Thing is, I don't think we actually have any out and out 12's on tour anyway. Farrell is unique amongst this bunch, with his distr...

Chasing the game or not you keep at the ABs in the final 20. Otherwise you get thrashed. There is no playing out the clock given how lethal they can be if people switch off mentally or go into all out defensive mode. So, you pick your most attacking side from the start then, to make sure you're atl...

I would say Laidlaw will benefit after having had most time in camp with Webb on the bench.

Is Webb fully recovered from his niggle yet?

He wasn't exactly great during the 6N, mind

Despite still being well off his very best in the 6n, JD was 'statistically' the best 13 in the competition.....

He's in a different league now though.

Zappa bringing some sense at last. Coming from an Englishman, I think JD2 deserves a chance purely off the last 3 or so games he's played (that I either watched or saw highlights of). He was immense against Leinster, truly outstanding. If we was to play at that level in NZ, he'd be starting no doub...

Farrell has, yeah. Also with the added bonus of actually winning the game. And I'm not the one who's said any of those should be playing or questioned their counterparts' ability like you have. So....f**k off noob. Shall we bother taking Teo and Joseph at all then? erm, you've just done exactly tha...

Yes - In NZ last summer Amazing how often this gets pedalled out given Wales were absolutely mugged. The Irishers did actually beat New Zealand in Chicago... In an exhibition game in Neither Nz nor Ireland. Where was the pressure? Where are the stellar performances from this current English crop v ...

I'm enjoying this already, of all the teams listed above I'd be excited to watch any of them in action. The only player I have an issue with is Laidlaw. Apart from that its all good baby. You'd be excited by a Henshaw/JD midfield? Not sure what Henshaw offers really? If you want a bosher then you p...

C'mon guys, it's Gatland. No way he starts Sexton and Faz. Sees Faz as 10 and so he should - effective for Eng in that role but objectively as a 12 not good enough - not enough go forward or breaks (sorely needed against Ireland) and if Ford could kick goals Teo would start ahead of him; also if Ed...

There, I said it.

He is as a wing. No doubt.

Liam is an out and out Fullback and should only be considered there for the lions.

First test:

Liam
Watson
Joseph
Jiffy jr
North
Farrell
Webb

Mako
Ken
Furlong
AWJ
Henderson
Warbuton

Patchell has definately gone backwards, rather than forwards, since he first came on the scene, but hopefully, if he can stay fit, some consistency of selection in this Scarlets side should see him come good. I just hope Wales don't f**k him up like Cardiff did and start f**k him around at 15. Can'...

Would rather Patchell make 3 tries and get charged down for 2 then Biggar who will make nothing all game I was President, Committee Chairmen and only member of the GINGER MESSIAH fan club for years, but he just hasn't kicked on as much as he could (tbf, being at Cardiff didn't help). He has oodles ...

He does have a touch of the Andy Fenbys about him true but am yet to see him exposed that badly defensively although you could argue he bought the dummy runner for Munsters first try. Our only real defensive collapse came when Dan Jones was 10 Wash your f**king mouth out! Crazy legs is a Scarlets h...

Bigger than the Cubster, no? Cubby brings other things to the game though (speed, link play and pilfering). James Davies is a fairly poor ball carrier in traffic, whereas Boyde, even though he is sub 6 foot is remarkably good. However, and although I wouldn't say he was found out against the likes ...

We should be able to compete for real in Europe next season with a top seeding. Even if we fill a best runner up spot we know now that travelling away does not bother this squad. I am looking very much forward to the development of Elias, Boyde, Beirne and Macleod and the introduction of Nicholas a...

Cubby is an enigma though!

I think Boyde will be a fine cub player, but probably no more.

No idea why Leinster would let him go, hit the ground running and has only got better. Colossal season really, him and Jake Ball have turned that Scarlett's pack from powderpuff to a coal powered juggernaut. He was with the rfc for the first half the season, but yes once he got his chance for the S...

Use Shingler in the second row, call up Cubby and Wales can save face. Simple.

Without wanting to sound patronising, i'm feeling for the Munster side and fans that they had to lose like that in the final after seriously upping their game with massive passion since losing Foley. Guess it was one game too far.

Hope we can begin to emulate your Euro success now.

You know there's a salary cap in the AP, right?

I think not.

I'd agree with that tbh. Cardiff were also a far wealthier side when he was in charge, and they still weren't winning much. God knows how much Wasps are spending.

Oh, and Jon has been steadily building his form back up for the second part of the season and is pretty much at his best again for the first time in years. Probably nailed on Lions starter now, although i'm not sure how they're going to wangle it with Joseph as they're both out and out 13's IMHO.

The brothers Davies were outflockingstanding. They just HAVE to swallow the bullet, admit they made a MASSIVE mistake, and take James on the Wales tour. I mean I don't think it's ridiculous to say that if the Wales coaches weren't involved in the Lions setup, he way well have been a Lions bolter se...

Cheers. Yeah, that second (or third, can't remember) try for Davies looked flat to forward to me. Ultimately, it made no difference to the game. It was a weird one. In real time it looked well forward, but on the replays it wasn't obvious at all. Perhaps it just looked that way because Davies over-...

Nige refs the game to let everybody know he's the most important person on the pitch. "Don't think I have ever been between two hookers before. Well not during a toss anyway lol " Lame.
