This tour is starting to look like a hideous blood-bath for the Aussies, a lack of top flight talent and an interium coach against a Lions team flying high on confidence it could get nasty quick in the test series.
Yeah, Israel isn't very popular at the moment I guess. I can't see how psytrance is either. Not a good combo.

@Catogrande I feel so sorry for them, that I am willing to accept their wages straight into my bank account.

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

@Catogrande duh. Clive.
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.
