Just for a little ease:
Wallabies in trouble tbh. Not sure Lynagh has the goods, but guess we'll see, and hope I'm proved wrong.
Brumby nails it with his magic prediction from months back that Harry Potter gets a gig.
Curry probably the Lion most lucky to be in the 23 tbh, thought any of VdF, Morgan or Pollock have outplayed him so far.

How could you not have Harry Potter in the team he's a wizard.

He may not be such a fan of Potter or Jorgensen though..........
Nick, The Champion of Crisps is indeed an epic name.
All the shade being thrown at the Lions having non-British players; pretty sure 4 Privet Drive is in Surrey, England.

TBF to Jorgensen he was only born in God's own county because his (Wallaby capped) old man was playing for Rotherham at the time.
Tom Lynagh is more English than him, IMHO. His accent is still more Surrey than Sydney.

Yeah, does rather call into question the Wobs' talent identification process.
Probably get a bit of a pass on Hansen because he never really showed anything playing for my family team to suggest he'd be the player he became, but struggle to believe the same of Tuipulotu because he's got the full package.
Bealham too actually. Given your traditional paucity of test quality props (I mean, dear old Collapsing Al Baxter played over 50 times and the bloke couldn't/wouldn't take a square hit to save his life) him slipping through the net is almost worse.
I'd be starting him ahead of Furlong, tbh.

Aw, fair go.Don't be taking shots at Baxter when you get Marler to however ma y tests he had
Bloke was a bit of a divot at times (those times were at all times) but he actually could scrummage. I'll give you overrated though.

Yeah I've got nothing against him, he was adequate, I just remember sitting in the corners at Twickenham in 2015, about 60degrees away from the north south of the pitch, and his arse pointing straight toward me for half the game as he packed in. He got better mind.
Suspect Lions win by 15-20 tbh though, we might be close at 50 mins, but our bench is lacking cattle outside of Bell.

I hope you realise that was me being a tad facetious!

I very much did not. Apologies.

Really poor form from the Lions' management, that.
Honestly don't see what they stand to gain from it other than looking like slightly windy poor sports.
Very much a "letter of the law rather than the spirit of the game" decision.

No worries! (oops, see what I have just done!)I very much did not. Apologies.
