And the Blues, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets grounds are nearly as empty as most churches.

I remember similar statements in the run up to the game against England in Dublin. At least it won't be the IRFU paying his wages while he sits in the stand, when his hamstring goes bang and he is out until christmas.

'the Lions isn't as relevant in the pro era', bit of a misquote admittedly but love the sentiment.

A few articles in the Torygraph questioning whether the whole exercise should continue might well cause a bit of a change of policy from the SH teams as well, they don't want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. The English are whining enough about their lack of players in the squad and...

What a fecking shambles, Biggar must think he is held in massive esteem by Fathead. Pleased for 36, rate him as a player and he offers more than Farrell and Barrit combined. Amusing to see players being picked that are surplus to Lancaster's requirements.

When do the real warm up games start Cardiffblue?

Or the Saffers going on about the 2011 RWC Quarter final?

Not me mate, I am supporting the Aussies.

Actually being very gently ironic, I am rarely serious about much.

Obviously I was imagining the chronic whinge fest on here after Ireland turned your World cup campaign upside down in 2011. The Ref scored every one of Ireland's points that day and the whining about the choke tackle was truly epic.

Gwan the Aussies!!!

Lost? Surely all they managed was to score more points than you and that must have been down to the biased ref.

Hoping it is Warburton, Tipuric Faletau with Croft on the bench.

I am not happy.

I think the kids say LOL!!!!

Zebo is the best available and has played internationally at 15 which covers Kearney's fragilities but I am praying he is not called up. With Roman ' anything goes at the scrum' Poite officiating in one of the games the absurdly illegal New Yorker might do well. Grant will do well, behind Healy...

Looks like this Lions tour is panning out as terribly as I feared although hopefully Healy and Bowe are not on the Ferris scale of injury. Sexton looked a bit tender in the hamstring area as well. Fucking madness to only have two out halfs in the squad, Sexton has to be involved in ten games in...

It is not what the Irish lads are doing now that concerns me it is the state they will be in in six months time. Should think there will be another rake of injuries in today's game, crazy.

Grant is much better than Jenkins and if Corbesiero gets away with his illegalities he is a brutal scrummager.

It is not me you need to convince unfortunately, when the likes of Brian Moore are calling for contracts to ensure players are released for their franchises as a condition of future Lions tours you get the sense that this was not great PR from the ARU. And that particular mouthpiece of English...
