2025 British & Irish Lions tour to Australia
-
Had a go at my starting 23 for the first test:
1. Porter 2. Sheehan 3. Stuart 4. Itoje © 5. Beirne (tempted to go with Chessum here) 6. Tom Curry 7. Earl 8. Doris (would prefer T Willis but can't abide the whinging that would happen) 9. Gibson-Park 10. F Smith 11. Lowe 12. Tuipolotu / Aki 13. Jones / Henshaw 14. Graham 15. Keenan 16. Genge 17. Furlong 18. George 19. Chessum 20. B Curry 21. White 22. M Smith 23. Freemanre centres, I'm torn between both Ireland and both Scotland, would come down to fitness of the 12s on the day I think

@Dodge not content with having two No 10 Smiths you've added a third to the mix?
Yeah. bang on. Plus he was more of a centre and must be about 50 now. Ollie has as much chance as a Welshman.
Apologies for all the Taffs but I couldn't resist.

So would I but I'm already going to get accused of bias...

If we get any on the plane, then they'll feature at some stage

@Catogrande I lived 12 years in Primrose Hill, by the Zoo. The only animals we heard regularly were the wolves.

So instead of Rebels vs Lions in Melbourne for a tour game it will be First Nations/Pasifika team vs Lions
Really expanding the game inviting American Indian tribes to come down and participate.

Porter surely can't be the best loosehead available? Or even the best 2?
Schoemann?
-
Part of the coaching staff, not the head coach.

He certainly looks the part and a team can never have enough

My sister lives out in the sticks a few miles from Longleat and you can sometimes her the fuckers coughing in the middle of the night. Not very reassuring.
Maybe she should see a doctor?

This has been shared already
I thought it might have been, but my brief search ‘British Lions’ drew a blank!

@MiketheSnow Was sent to me by Welsh supporter.

heard on a podcast last night that Kinghorn will likely be playing for Toulouse in the T14 final the day of the first tour match, then probably miss the second as he'll be in the air, and the third because of jet lag - i hadn't been sure whether to go with Keenan or Kinghorn at 15 but that firms up my view now i think.

I dunno mate, the last time she was under the doctor my Brother in Law got all funny about it.
