Lions Tour 2025

And to the standard he keeps for himself if it doesn't feel right, you cant do it.

I remember Adam Gilchrist talking about knowing exactly when he didn't have it or the same drive to perform at what was required and occupying a spot isn't the right thing to do.

He knows his body as well. He gave the 7s a crack and it couldn't keep up with what he asked of it which is understandable after 294 Super Rugby games/Tests in the backrow as a relatively undersized guy... He knows his body. Got 10 games for Verblitz to play over 300 pro games. Some player.

Even better take on it.

Richie Mo'unga, Shannon Frizell and Shaun Stevenson have received insurance approval to participate in the AUNZ Invitational team's match against the British & Irish Lions on July 10. Now just need Japan clubs to sign off and RA will no doubt announce their participation

Does that mean they're the big name NZ players? Rest of the Kiwis will be NZ based players outside the ABs squad?

Anyone else feel that RA has completely dropped the ball on this ANZAC fixture and it's been a real let down

Only 5 weeks left and we have zero players announced, no jersey and coaches only recently announced

There will be no Wallabies playing and the All blacks and the Maori All Blacks will be unavailable, the Brumbies game is also only 3 days before, will those players be available?

Even if they can get Frizzell, Stevenson or Richie what other Kiwis would they get?

It would make sense to do an Aus A fixture if none of the top NZ or Aus players are available and if RA isn't interested in marketing it properly

Lions don’t want to play Aus A apparently

Yeah, so what?

 

[rugbyAU]

Yeah, so what?

You want some big name players surely
