Ah righto.
Yeah I'd erased the Fiji game from my memory. Sadly World Rugby didn't.

by go i hope Bobby V is fit or it'll get ugly.

The word is Lynagh is going to play 10 on Saturday
I like it. Exciting.
First game in six weeks and first ever start in a Test match?
I really like Lynagh, but I don't think this is the time to be giving him that 10 jersey.

It's him or Donaldson. Edmed would have to be the world's best salesman to convince Schmidt that NPC rugby is the same as the Lions.
-
@antipodean would definitely be starting Donaldson with either Lynagh or O'Connor on the bench. No need for Edmed.

Squidge & pal’s take

You're right. There's no substitute for experience.
True.

Rumoured Lions XV for the first test.
- Genge - Eng
- Sheehan - Ire
- Furlong - Ire
- Itoje (c) - Eng
- McCartney - Ire
- Beirne - Ire
- Curry - Eng
- Conan - Ire
- Gibson-Park - Ire
- Russell - Sco
- Lowe - Ire
- Tuipolotu - Sco
- Jones - Sco
- Freeman - Eng
- Keenan - Ire
Bench: Chessum - Eng, Earl - Eng, Marcus Smith - Eng, Aki - Ire. And I assume four others.
No Welsh player in the Lions 23 for a Test for the first time ever. No Farrell, no Pollock, no Van Der Flier.
-
Morgan, Chessum and Mitchell should be rightly aggrieved.
-
Bobby V out
Australia fucked -

That seems a strange selection in the back row. Curry is pretty quick, but the other two are glacial. All through the tour through Farrell has been selecting really dynamic back row combos, so this strikes me as either very odd or complete bollocks.
