fair point, I have a romantic memory of '93 (even though there weren't many Kiwis in that side from memory)
Lol Dodge probably because it was '89?
haha, fuck i'm old
Mate. I glad I'm not the only one! It's usually me that does that kind of stuff.

23 Owen FarrellI hope he's learned not to tackle people with a stiff arm around the neck.

I'd be happy if he used arms at all TBH, were I a Lions fan.

To be honest I really don't think DVDM has done much of anything on this tour so far. Huw Jones very unlucky if he is not picked to start but Ringrose has played well too and I guess if it's pretty even, you go with teh guy you know. Jones has at least had the opportunities to press his case which hasn't always been the case on more recent tours.
Pollock I reckon is seen as a utility back row off the bench and will thrive on game time. I don't see this as a relegation from the test squad and fully expect him to feature at some time in the test 23.
It looks like the famous
versatility of Smith M is working in his favour. Well that and the fact both Daley and Kinghorn are crocked and Keenan is playing like a sack of spuds. Will he be in the test 23 though? Probably not as I think that place will go to Farrell.If DVDM creates opportunities for himself and finishes decisively then I'd have him leapfrogging Lowe
I'd personally go with the Scottish centres
Pollock will be on the bench and will offer far more than VDF
If Keenan has a mare / isn't fit then Marcus Smith will start, otherwise it's Keenan to start at M Smith on the bench to cover 10 & 15
If Farrell Jr is anywhere near the Test 23 then Farrell Sr is a fucking knob
I'd start with this backline
Mitchell, Russell, DVDM, Tuipolotu, Jones, Freeman,
KeenanKinghornwith JGP, M Smith, Ringrose on the bench
Corrected now. I’m sure he’ll get picked

All I’ve read says he’s missing the 1st Test through injury

Fuck. Can the Lions even compete with only four Scots in the backline ?
-
Couldn’t they came up with a better name for this combined team than AUNZ XV? ‘The Ockerz’ perhaps or ‘The Lamingtons’ or ‘The ‘Tazmans’ or ‘The Far Laps’?

@His-Bobness the antipodean spares

That AUNZ jersey is awful

Havili a couple of average touches

Yeah been a bang average start from Havili.
