Is someone willing to put out a potential 23 for this match?
I've seen a few announcements so have penciled in what I believe will be the 23 with a few positions yet to be determined. Anyone heard of other players that have been announced?
- Aiden Ross (Reds)
- Brandon Paenga-Amosa (Force)
- Jeff Toomaga Allen (Reds
- Shannon Frizell (Toshiba Brave Lupas)
- Pete Samu (Waratahs)
- Hoskins Sotutu (Blues)
- Folau Fakatava (Highlanders)
- Marika Koroibete (Panasonic Wild Knights)
- Ngani Laumape (Moana Pasifika)
- David Havili (Crusaders)
- AJ Lam (Blues)
- Shaun Stevenson (Chiefs)
- Josh Fusitu'a (Blues)
-
They will find a way to put Sotutu on the bench.

Joke or not, can't like this!

@NTA i think i would care more if it wasn't the aussie tour, the majority of home support with be aussies or expats who are probably aus citizens now
have seen plenty have a good old whinge on the socials though, sadly plenty demanding it be ANZAC.....
i saw the team had sweet AUNZ beanies but cant see the for sale

Ngani Laumape would get on well with Christinith

That could give IBL second stringers a good run for their money.
-
its an interesting second string game as its still 7 days out from the first test so its a genuine opportunity to force your way into contention, in the old days this game would have been 4 days before the first test and no one was realistically going to go back to back

I don't really understand this game. Lions tours are so rare, so hyped up, so talked about and for one of the games they are playing a team no heritage, no pedigree and worst of all, no real selection philosophy other than who isn't in their respective countries first team squads.

it is however a tradition of the Lions tour to Aus to play an ANZAC team, I'm ok with that.

It was a Hamish McLennan initiative.

No game in 2001 or 2013. This might be the second time ever?
I don't have an issue with it. It makes the fixture list more interesting. Weakened SR sides haven't put up enough of a fight (so far)
