[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1024413, member: 34990"] Almost inevitable, really Last Lions tour we were all looking forward to seeing new players in our key positions (and same again, 4years on) of 8,9,10 and 15 Care, Ford and Mike Brown started all three games, Hughes started both tests We capped Maunder but only for 2minutes That said we did get a number of others involved - Genge and Williams got plenty of time in the front row, Lozowski and Piers Francis got time in the centres (though I vaguely remember Francis having a shocker?) Cunderhill and Wilson came through Singleton went all the way to Argentina and didn't make it off the bench, I remember there were a few players that went solely to hold tackle bags - Believe Sam James was told he was going to be playing in the 2nd test, his family flew out to Argentina and then Francis was named on the bench instead Solomona got his first cap, missed a really simple tackle to leak a try then scored a worldy to win it at the end Very strange tour, all round [/QUOTE]
