I realise that, still think it's a stupid idea
I don't recognise a single SA Lions name, should be a spanking. They won't be as jet lagged as they were in Whangarei 4 years ago

Gatland's comments on the 10/12 combo
“Owen has a huge amount of experience. Third tour, captain of England as well, so he is adding a lot to the environment, and then Finn has a slightly different way of playing. “He has matured amazingly the last few years in terms of his game management and the way he controls the game and we know what flair he has from an attacking perspective, and also it’s just little deft attacking kicks that he is able to bring to his game. “I thought against France the way that he managed that game and his kicking game control was outstanding. It’s pretty exciting to have a look at that combination. We do want to have a look at Owen at ten at some stage as well and give him an opportunity there because that is where he has been picked, but we know that he is equally comfortable in the twelve position." -

@machpants wouldn't want to have your openside as your captain either by the looks of Argentina...

Absolute joke
And far more instrumental in long term damage IMHO
Time to bring back mandatory 3-week lay off

@duluth said in Lions v British & Irish Lions:
Clearly, Luke Cowan-Dickie shouldn't be playing Rugby for a few weeks. Very worrying indeed that the British and Irish Lions management are willing to jeopardise the long-term health of one of their players. Poor form. I hope they think again and he doesn't take the field.

They’re not passing him fit though are they?
Surely it’s his employers who are ‘sub- contracting’ him to BIL

That’s wrong and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Look we both agree that he shouldn’t be playing but once he’s passed his club’s protocols, what the policy and culpability after that?

If that is the criteria for discussion here, we can shut this place down.
Why on earth not take care of the player and give them a chance later?
I’ve got a lot of shit things to say about Steve Hanson, but he’d have made sure this guy wasn’t playing.

@mikethesnow One for the lawyers certianly in terms of finance issues.
But morally the correct action is obvious. If the B and I management have seen that video how on earth can they pick L C-D today and then talk about players' welfare ever again? He must be withdrawn.
