Brave decision. If it was Ringrose we would be delighted. Yes but the problem is that Ringrose was the obvious bolter type selection from Ireland, just as Someone like James Davies or Steff Evans would be from Wales. These guys are just rejects except for Gareth Davies, who should have been there f...

I can only assume he's injured. Gatland wasn't giving him a go at 15 anyway, which is the only position he might have excelled for the Lions.

..we know that your hopes and prayers go out to thos affected, and we know that you think that the emergency services did a great job in such difficult times. If everyone agreed to a blanket ban on these two preliminary statements we could get two extra questions on Question Time. If I hear once mo...

Davies should have been there from the start. Dacey is very underrated, bang in form and as a left field selection is semi understandable what with him being there already.
Hill and Francis there can be zero justification though. Just utterly odd.

It's delicious stuff from Gatland

Ellis Jenkins came on and played really well Yes, very prominent. He impresses me every time I see him play, has that instinct to be in the right place. Lots of pluses today, but Samoa will want to make a point after that hammering by NZ today. We'll need to be much better. He was decent, but no Ja...

Sexton is pretty much the best defensive 10 out there. Not sure where Jake is going with this. Sure, he's had his injury issues and if the worry is just that he'll break, fair enough, but he's not a step down from Farrell in defence at all. Statto, Discussed this at length with your man Byrne last ...

We could have a poll for the 13 position, but the Irish would swarm it and vote Payne

cubby boi

I'll say it again. 11 of the Irish have voted for Payne!

Gotta love 'em

We all know who will start, if fit. Daft to pretend otherwise. Nobody else has screamed 'pick me'. Watson has looked ok but that's it. Our backline have caught mediocritosis. That's because Gatland has refused to give the only realistic option any game time at 15 (Liam) and now it looks like he mig...

I hope he goes JS/OF/Teo

I think he'll go OF/RH/JD2 from what I've heard.
Hopefully RH is Rob Henderson

Rob Howley, I can only assume.

Bollocks. SOB and POM were excellent against Crusaders.

Open the other eye lad. SOB was good, POM was atleast as "average" as Warburton. Faletau and Moriarty have comfortable outplayed him.

Is it confirmed he's gone?

The Lions are remarkable for making otherwise decent players look absolute shite. Having said that, Seymor and Payne certainly shouldn't have been on this tour.

cubby boi

The outstanding lock on tour so far, certainly.

Crusaders had one big scrum. Overall they were bettered by the Lions and knew it so continually sought the early hit to stop Lions having comfortable set piece ball. Watch the game again. It was the only facet the Crusaders were superior so should be obvious, even to you and your idiot mate further...

Do you also not watch the 6 Nations? Just can't help yourself. I just found it weird that someone seemed to be talking about players like Maro Itoje or Mako Vunipola as if they were dark horses.

A Backline lead by the 5th best FH in the British Isles will get smothered. It is a bit shite to ask Henshaw and JJ to work with that. It is the same reason they struggled against Blues.

Kruis is the best lock in the NH. Who gives a f u ck if he's 'weedy' if he plays as well as he did on Saturday. Dominated Whitelock, are you going to start calling Whitelock weedy? The only point you have made correctly here, is that Kruis is weedy. Awj shamed those kiwis and Kruis has hung onto hi...

Next you'll be showing me some equally pointless stats, but Kruis looks and plays like a weed on the field. Good lineout skills or not.
