Interested to hear, that Lions have to more or less sign of the NZ/PI/Indigenous team that they play against.
Where did you hear that rumour?
Not a rumour mate, heard Justin Harrison talk about it on tv. Thought Tim Horan was going to have a fit
.
All part of the touring contract and it being changed.If it's the warmup game, can understand that - Lions probably don't want a hard match after just coming off the plane and getting jetlagged!
That’s fucking bullshit
Arrive earlier and give yourselves more time
Na mate, we all know Lions tours are rushed at best of times. And if you agree to an itinerary to suit the time you got players, I think they have every right to be careful if through no fault of their own that opposition has been changed. They actually sign a contract when these tours are organised, with agreement on who they play etc, so if one party wants to change things ,I think they have every right to go hey hang on let's just be a little careful. You have to remember it's the Aussies breaking/changing the contract.
RA could of just had a team selected from Victoria to play and no problems . -

James Lowe played against the lions in 2017, I wonder how many other players can claim the feat of having played both for and against the Lions on official tours?
Ricky Flutey did too I believe

Willie John McBride is out yelling at the clouds…….
The surprising thing to me is some who I thought were born overseas ( like Huw Jones ) were actually born in the UK

Not everyone's cup of tea when it comes to delivery but lots of interesting ideas and analysis here

Itoje might have to ramp up his team talks, he’s not inspiring at all.

@Canes4life I guess "screeching at lineout time" isn't a substitute for leadership.
-
@Canes4life I can't see how that's not a pisstake.

Andrew Goodman was on The Breakdown last night (he's an Ass. coach for the Lions).
He said the touring party will be 90 people?
What the fuck will they all do? Maybe every player is bringing his mother?
Takes me back to the 2005 tour when they give everyone private rooms, bought 44 players and about a million backroom staff just to get smoked in every test
