    His name is Fekitoa not Vaquita FFS and why does it matter how many of his family are left in the world?

        No. I was too busy looking up when the World Wrestling Federation changed their logo to a panda and why they are concerned about an endangered rugby player

          @Crucial Good. You might need to dial down on the subtlety in future.

            Fake news. Malikai is one of 16 siblings, so I reckon if you add in cousins there must be plenty more than 30 Vaquitas left.

                  No replacement will be named apparently, but if there were one

                  Zebo?
                  Earls?
                  May?
                  Brown?

                  Earls was absolutely excellent for Ireland vs USA, the best I have ever seen him play in a green jersey.

                        The other thing I read was that Hogg and Murray were roommates in Chch.

                          Drag Donal Lenihan to give the old "1971 Canterbury" speech. Won't really work (not that it did the first time) but seems like a move Gats would make.

                                  If you are doing French exiles, then David Strettle is fairly decent too.

                                    Yeah, its not a prediction. Just what I think they should do

                                    Ford at 10 and Farrell at 12. As you said it would be admitting the initial selection was wrong, it would be admitting the backs aren't converting enough opportunities and it would be copying Eddie Jones

                                    Gatland would never do any of that.

                                      British and Lions head coach Warren Gatland has called up Scotland duo Allan Dell (prop) and Finn Russell (fly-half) ahead of their Test series against New Zealand

                                      Dell and Russell’s call-ups come after Wales’ Cory Hill, Kristian Dacey, Gareth Davies and Tomas Francis joined the squad on Saturday afternoon following their Test against Tonga in Auckland on Friday.

                                        Russell the only one who adds anything to the overall squad.

                                          Russell the only one who adds anything to the overall squad.

                                          Russell and Davies are both there or there abouts, so fair enough (would rather Davies than Laidlaw any day). The rest are a joke. If geography is an issue and you always planned this, why not call up the best guys available 3 or 4 days earlier and give time to get over jet lag?

                                          Even if you limit yourself to Wales and Scotland, I'm not sure how Dacey and Hill got in ahead of Brown and Gray
