2025 British & Irish Lions tour to Australia
-
Reminds me of an article which I can’t find about @MiketheSnow’s favourite Scotsman Finn Russell when someone had a go at his rig. He said it’s not his job to be strong or fast but to steady the ship and call the shots. He also mentioned he loved Pizza and Burgers too much.
He is a better defender than Merhts or O’Gara though.

@MiketheSnow that was hilarious, I only got as far as the end of the captaincy discussion, but their assessment contained absolutely zero insight.

Yeah, dreadful wasn't it? God help us if this is what we have to get used to.

Crazy to think there have been only 2 English coaches since 1950, one if you don't count Farrell cos he hasn't quite got there yet!

Speaking of leaks, never understand why things like Itoje is leaked to the media.
Either that or everybody assumed it was a two horse race for the captaincy between Itoje & Doris, and with the latter's injury it became a fait accompli. Personally I think he's hugely over rated as a player (don't think he's shit, but he's not the all time great many make him out to be) and despite having a lot of natural leadership qualities, he rarely shows them during the games.
Should be a good tour. Amazing how quickly the Aussies have turned things around with a load of competitive players to choose from now. As always, if the Lions can gel they should be able to get the tour victory.
Thats a huge if though, as the nation divides seem as wide as they ever have been in my combined 12 years of living this way.

BBC has decided to pad this out massively. Hour long show, we are 14 minutes in and they've not even yet announced who the Captain is yet ... which is ridiculous given everybody already knows!!
Good to hear from the guy painting a mural though.
Brilliant, we now get to hear a regulation answer (highlight of my career) to a regulation question (what does being the Lions captain mean to you).
Honestly, just read the fucking team for gods sakes, then dissect it.

Didn't catch all the names, but one that stood out to me was Finn Smith. Surprise selection?

No. Thoroughly deserved.
