Official Lions Squad for 2025. Some completely unfamiliar names in this bunch. Anyone care to shed some light on how some of them have been playing at club level?

Am surprised loose forward Jeremiah Avei Collins missed out, as he looks a real talent . Also a couple of Japanese imports there as well
No Harry Press and no Senio Sanele as well. Fairly surprised they missed out.

Not sure the extent of the injuries to Aumua, Higgins and Lakai but our starting 23 for round 1 would be fairly close to the below I would have thought. Have included Love and Proctor from the ABs, but haven't included Kirifi and Savea as they were involved in all three tests.
- Numia
- O'Reilly
- Lauaki
- Delany
- Plummer
- Shields
- Halalilo
- Ropeti
- Preston
- Love
- Filipo
- Savea
- B Proctor
- Clarke
- Harkin
- Poasa
- Yamamoto
- Sheck
- Ieremia
- Irving
- Muriwai
- Garden-Bachop
- M Proctor

@Canes4life Yep that would be the likely line up in my eyes. After watching him for the U20s, it would be good to see Solomon get a good crack in the starting line up this season. Not particularly excited about Savea at 12 but hes probably the only option until Higgins returns, though i am sure Billy P could slot in there well enough.

I think when the ABs drop back out, Solomon will be a real chance at starting. Wouldn't mind him getting a good run in the 15 jersey.

Big fan of Solomon. Want to see him starting every week.
