British & Irish Lions 2025 General News and Chat

[Hmmmmmm]

Considering they have a brand to protect they don't seem very bothered about looking like complete dickheads.

Mission accomplished

 

[General Melchett]

Gregor Brown to join Lions Squad - The British & Irish Lions Website

www.lionsrugby.com

Likely in response to McCarthy's foot issue.

I know what many of you are thinking....Who the hell is Gregor Brown? He's a ginger lock/6 from Aberdeen, that's who he is.

Him partnering Chessum would be the most ginger second row in Lions history.

Blair Kinghorn's cousin.

Can see players increasingly wanting their national teams to be play as close to the Lions Tour as possible.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Genuinely who?

Glasgow website has him as 6’3” and 109kg. Is he a scrum half?

 

[spursincornwall]

This tour has only furthered my disinterest in the lions, bin it off and focus on developing the game in Europe and South America

Not enough private schools down there.

S

Not enough private schools down there.

So very true

 

[Welsh Exile]

S

So very true

I've never said anything untrue in my life. Apart from Steff Evans being the next Shane Williams, Wales would make the last England game competitive, Sherratt was not just a glorified PE teacher and I once foolishly said that Tipuric wasn't the GOAT.

Only as a tackle bag

 

[dirty harry]

Only as a tackle bag

What do you think the other geography players are there for?

I was super critical of Gatland when he did this in 2017, and 2013, but it seems its a regular occupancy now.

Dominant Lions must now deliver a display that can stand the test of time | Robert Kitson

Andy Farrell’s team faced a limp Australia in the first Test but must turn on the style to earn their place in history

www.theguardian.com

Has anyone ever reacted more hysterically to winning a game of sport than the UK media. They are unhinged.

Are they aware that we got knocked out of the last world cup in the group stages and took loans from World Rugby to remain solvent?

Ah don't pay attention to The Mekon, his brain cells fell out with his hair. If it wasnt for Stephen Jones he'd be the worst rugby writer in the country

Would the Australian Media be any better if it was the other way around?

Australia are easily the worst of the 3. But then the BIL have only won 3 test series since 1989 and two have them have been against Australia.

Australian media revels in any English loss. We would still be celebrating if we beat you a thousand nil. Hell we celebrate when other nations beat you. This is as it should be and what I consider to be the natural order of things.

I highly doubt they'd be having a massive whinge because of some vague perception that it was too easy...

Ah but England are only 1/4 of it. We’re the British and Irish Lions. well 1/3 as no Welshmen.

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

It’s a Lions tour against a team that Wales of all teams put over 40 points on

When Wales are putting 40 points on you, you’re know your in the ****

Didn't they put 50plus on Wales last time out and 40 plus on England at home.

Good job we have the Irish and Scottish to bail us out or we'd be ******.
