@SimonAdd_2 No need for debate - it's a definite trend from him and unless they take him aside to work on it, I'd put money on him seeing at least a yellow at some stage during the tour. Just ask Stuart Hogg....
Talk on the Scottish Rugby sites is how it would be great for loads of Scots to miss out on the ultimate honour in British rugby just so they have a strong team for the Oz tour. They all know Hogg is a shoe in but they hope the Grays, Seymour etc miss out.
Such loser talk. No wonder Scots Rugby has been fucked for so long.
A dose of resigned reality and fans getting their silver lining lined up ahead of time?
In the last 4 Lions tours Scotland have had a grand total of 11 players selected.One of the more successful Lions tours to NZ (93) had a very good Scots contingent though so maybe Gatland will be missing a trick if he focuses on those south of the wall and across the Irish sea
Aside from the Hastings brothers, the Scots that toured in 93 were pretty much a let down. Though Andy Nichol did OK as a replacement. The tight 5 forwards were an embarrassment.
Ah, but it's all about the intangibles that the Scots bring to the touring group, not the playing abilities
Joking aside there is probably a little truth in this. Not sure if you have been to the shaky isles but Scots would feel far more comfortable here than the English. We have a more similar connection in attitudes, habits etc.
I know I feel more 'at home' when in Scotland than in England despite having a pommy mother and having spent more time living in England than Scotland.It's cos Scots are awesome and the English are fluffybunnies

Notwithstanding the possible truth in that statement it must have galled you as a wannabe ginger woad that the Scottish contribution fell so alarmingly between the 89 tour to Aus and 93?

I can read between the lines thank you. The bile probably stems from a couple of hundred years ago when the English were rampaging through Scotland, raping and pillaging. They got to MN5's folks place, turned their noses up at the tin ornaments and to a man refused to rape his great, great grandma due to her being a munter. These chippy Jocks don't forget an insult like that.

9 Scots in 1989
9 Scots in 1993Yes, fairly similar.

A dose of resigned reality and fans getting their silver lining lined up ahead of time?
In the last 4 Lions tours Scotland have had a grand total of 11 players selected.One of the more successful Lions tours to NZ (93) had a very good Scots contingent though so maybe Gatland will be missing a trick if he focuses on those south of the wall and across the Irish sea
Aside from the Hastings brothers, the Scots that toured in 93 were pretty much a let down. Though Andy Nichol did OK as a replacement. The tight 5 forwards were an embarrassment.
Ah, but it's all about the intangibles that the Scots bring to the touring group, not the playing abilities
Joking aside there is probably a little truth in this. Not sure if you have been to the shaky isles but Scots would feel far more comfortable here than the English. We have a more similar connection in attitudes, habits etc.
I know I feel more 'at home' when in Scotland than in England despite having a pommy mother and having spent more time living in England than Scotland.It's cos Scots are awesome and the English are fluffybunnies
We all know that. I was trying to explain that to @Catogrande nicely.
But thanks for cutting to the chase.
I can read between the lines thank you. The bile probably stems from a couple of hundred years ago when the English were rampaging through Scotland, raping and pillaging. They got to MN5's folks place, turned their noses up at the tin ornaments and to a man refused to rape his great, great grandma due to her being a munter. These chippy Jocks don't forget an insult like that.
She woulda offered them the finest oatcakes and shortbread too.

@SimonAdd_2 No need for debate - it's a definite trend from him and unless they take him aside to work on it, I'd put money on him seeing at least a yellow at some stage during the tour. Just ask Stuart Hogg....
Talk on the Scottish Rugby sites is how it would be great for loads of Scots to miss out on the ultimate honour in British rugby just so they have a strong team for the Oz tour. They all know Hogg is a shoe in but they hope the Grays, Seymour etc miss out.
Such loser talk. No wonder Scots Rugby has been fucked for so long.

Notwithstanding the possible truth in that statement it must have galled you as a wannabe ginger woad that the Scottish contribution fell so alarmingly between the 89 tour to Aus and 93?
It was more that the players sucked. I think the numbers were similar from memory.
9 Scots in 1989
9 Scots in 1993Yes, fairly similar.

The 9 in 89 were pretty much all hall of famers though. Hastings x 2, Jeffrey, Calder, Sole, Armstrong....White was good too.
The 93 lot were, as alluded to, a fucken disgrace for the most part.

@SimonAdd_2 No need for debate - it's a definite trend from him and unless they take him aside to work on it, I'd put money on him seeing at least a yellow at some stage during the tour. Just ask Stuart Hogg....
Talk on the Scottish Rugby sites is how it would be great for loads of Scots to miss out on the ultimate honour in British rugby just so they have a strong team for the Oz tour. They all know Hogg is a shoe in but they hope the Grays, Seymour etc miss out.
Such loser talk. No wonder Scots Rugby has been fucked for so long.
A dose of resigned reality and fans getting their silver lining lined up ahead of time?
In the last 4 Lions tours Scotland have had a grand total of 11 players selected.One of the more successful Lions tours to NZ (93) had a very good Scots contingent though so maybe Gatland will be missing a trick if he focuses on those south of the wall and across the Irish sea
Aside from the Hastings brothers, the Scots that toured in 93 were pretty much a let down. Though Andy Nichol did OK as a replacement. The tight 5 forwards were an embarrassment.
Ah, but it's all about the intangibles that the Scots bring to the touring group, not the playing abilities
Joking aside there is probably a little truth in this. Not sure if you have been to the shaky isles but Scots would feel far more comfortable here than the English. We have a more similar connection in attitudes, habits etc.
I know I feel more 'at home' when in Scotland than in England despite having a pommy mother and having spent more time living in England than Scotland.It's cos Scots are awesome and the English are fluffybunnies
We all know that. I was trying to explain that to @Catogrande nicely.
But thanks for cutting to the chase.
I can read between the lines thank you. The bile probably stems from a couple of hundred years ago when the English were rampaging through Scotland, raping and pillaging. They got to MN5's folks place, turned their noses up at the tin ornaments and to a man refused to rape his great, great grandma due to her being a munter. These chippy Jocks don't forget an insult like that.
She woulda offered them the finest oatcakes and shortbread too.
To which they all cried 'I don't eat none of that foreign muck, where's me proppa grub? I want chips'
....only after popping into Bradford for a curry
Is that a euphemism for getting a venereal disease?

Screws up many of those pundit selections as well.
I really can't see the other tourists accepting Hartley as any other than the midweek captain (IMO he doesn't get a starting spot in the test side).
AWJ is under an injury cloud as well isn't he?

Danny Wilson not that worried
"Wales' Sam Warburton has been ruled out for the rest of the domestic season after suffering a medial knee ligament injury against Ulster on 7 April.
But the Cardiff Blues flanker is likely to be fit for the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand in June.
Lions head coach Warren Gatland names his tour party on 19 April, with Warburton tipped to be captain.
"Sam has a low grade strain which will put him out for approximately six weeks," said Blues coach Danny Wilson.
"It won't interfere with the Lions.
"If we were fortunate enough to make the second European [Champions Cup qualifying] play-off game, we would envisage him being available for that.
"So he shouldn't have any problems regarding the Lions."
