To quote Chat GPT... " Here’s how the profit split works for the 2025 British & Irish Lions tour of Australia: Rugby Australia (the host nation) will receive 60 % of the post‑tour profits. The British & Irish Lions organisation (including the four home unions, players and designated clubs)...

Might as well be dead, for what you miss out. I mean, no beer tasting, & no rugby.. must be a member of a closed order.

It's what makes GandG so good! ;)

Handling thee 'soap dodgers' you mean?

I remember seeing Lynaugh play in his first games for the Reds & I immediately thought to myself that this bloke is a natural flyhalf, even if the games were just trials. And at his first start in a test, it had to be all up hill against a combined international forward pack that towelled our...

:D:Do_O

Definitely an element of the 'white shoe' brigade here. Wondering if they're forming a consortium to put up a high rise in Surfers Paradise?

My take on this is that both Lynaugh & Gordon might run out of gas/not have the match fitness & need to be replaced earlier than expected. I think we're going to see a fast, intense game. In Joe I trust.

I'll bet my left testicle (lost my right one some time ago on a wager), that Joe Schmidt will throw in one or two unexpected players into the starting 15. Maybe because of niggles, or a player showing real promise during training runs, or for a better combination. Squeek, squeek.

It is very annoying and shows some opinioned rugby guru's are so far from the game when they keep cricising a flyhalf for beign small. So many of the great flyhalves are small, agile, & quick thinking players, who know how to vary & control the game. Perhaps Tom Lynaugh is yet to prove himself...

Probably the captain will be named when the final 23 man squad is named - whether it be Hairy Wilson or whoever.

Sua'ali'i looked out of his comfort zone at OC against the Fijians, & he's a better all round fullback than Wright.

79% from a flyhalf would be considered a high pass mark. Did you also use AI to check on other Aussi flyhalves? Chat GPT supplies the following info: Ben Donaldson (Western Force) Ben Donaldson's tackle completion rate for the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season was approximately 55%, which is...

Your remarks are very opinionated, without any meaningful contribution. I would not have referred it if I didn't agree with the slow defence from the Wallabies. Also, I've come across similiar criticism from other posters who have also supplied reasoning.

There's an interesting article in The Roar, regarding the Wallabies poor defence. <https://www.theroar.com.au/2025/07/08/too-passive-zero-line-speed-what-has-happened-to-the-wallabies-defence/>. I have to agree with this ascertion that our line speed in defence is poor, and that if the Wallabies...
