Chuffed for Ryan Grant, he's had a superb season and more than deserves his call-up. Gethin's calf problems have been ongoing for a couple of seasons now, time to jump on the next plane home methinks. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

On games played so far i'd have SOB, Tipuric & Heaslip as backrow. I'll reserve judgement on Warbs til I've seen him play to see what his forms like. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

That's what I was thinking, Osprey's were always going to get him in their group I guess. :rolleyes: Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Pool one looks bloody scary ! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Agree with majority of that, excellent summary of the Lions. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Can't believe they didn't call up Grant, shocking decision. Lions much weaker without Healy Imho. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Gutted for Healy, he's a top player - big loss for the Lions. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

I'd have Bowe over Cuthbert personally. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Money, plain & simple. A full Millennium stadium generates a few million quid. Upwards of £4 million on the biggest earners I think. The WRU don't care too much if a decimated Welsh side without half their star names gets soundly beaten if they sell out the ground. Sent from my HTC One using...

£750k was mentioned I think. All blacks got double that. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Not much chance of it being Wales as half our team won't be able to play and will be back with their French/English club sides. Another pointless flogging of the Welsh paying public to earn an extra few million, hope no bugger buys tickets.:mad: Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

It's daylight after Sexton too if I'm honest. Farrell isn't ready, and all other options that could be called upon aren't in the same class. People like Biggar, Wilko and the rest aren't anywhere near Sexton. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

If Sexton gets injured the Lions are fecked ! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

He's only been blunt in attack for Wales because of those around him. If Sexton & O'Driscoll play either side and hit form he could cause some major damage. He runs lovely angles given the right service, unfortunately with Wales he's used as a battering ram without any subtlety. When Priestland...

Don't disagree, he's a fine operator at 7 but at 6 he can be himself - a destructive, wrecking machine both offensively & defensively ! He'd be my 6 for the tests, no doubt. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Think this tour could be made for Cian Healy to establish himself at the best loosehead around. I'd like Hogg to get the opportunity to showcase his talent too, on the hard tracks in Aus he could really flourish. A wonderfully balanced runner with electrifying speed. Hope he puts those...

I wouldn't have SOB anywhere near the 7 shirt to be honest even on last year's form. I'd definitely have him at 6 over Lydiate even if he's fit & firing. He's always looked like a 6 playing out of position on the openside to me. Just personal opinion though. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Lydiate will need the gametime more than anyone but how rusty he was 6 weeks ago will have little or no bearing on how he performs now. That Munster match was literally only a couple of weeks into his comeback, he was blowing out of his arse after 10 mins. I wouldn't have selected him personally...

Yeah, he joined the squad last week and is heading back to Cardiff Blues next season. Not a happy year at Toulon for him (apart from the bank balance I guess) Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

I'd expect the Lions to line up something like this given the late arrivals. Halfpenny Maitland Davies Roberts North Farrell Murray Vunipola Hibbard Jones O'Connell Gray Lydiate Warburton Faletau Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
