“Fist them” … yes I reverted to a 15yo
Wallabies scrumhalf Nic White has announced his retirement from international Rugby following Saturday’s third and final British & Irish Lions Test.
It's been said before, but do you think they came all the way to Australia with just one Lions jersey and no other clothes, or have they come with a full wardrobe, it's just that its lots of Lions jerseys?Poncho sales are also gonna sell out. Nothing but pommies in the CBD running into sports shops getting them.
Love White and appreciate the service he has given to the jersey but surely we aren't giving out farewell tours? Gordon and McDermott have clearly played better unless there has been an injury. Regardless of the dead rubber game for the series, this game is so important for us to win.Yes, the 2nd test match thread keeps getting bumped...
This will be Nic White's last test...

I suspect Gordon was too beaten up after playing 80mins after coming back from injury, they want McDermott on for the last 30 mins, but they also want someone training with the starters all week. So that's WhiteLove White and appreciate the service he has given to the jersey but surely we aren't giving out farewell tours?

Honestly I think it's a master stroke. Gives the team something to focus on other than the heartbreak of the 2nd test, and gives the team someone to rally behind. Mental resilience is going to win this testLove White and appreciate the service he has given to the jersey but surely we aren't giving out farewell tours?

Also think you need a bit of energy, bit of zip to get up for a dead rubber after a tight loss. White will give that in spades if nothing elseHonestly I think it's a master stroke.

This concept lasts for about 2mins of motivation then it’s gone.Honestly I think it's a master stroke. Gives the team something to focus on other than the heartbreak of the 2nd test, and gives the team someone to rally behind. Mental resilience is going to win this test
