2025 Lions - Who is on the Tour for you?

[Hmmmmmm]

The Scots I expect to tour are:

Russell
Tuipolotu
DVDM
Schoeman
Z Fagerson
Kinghorn (covers the back three and FH)

Possibly a scrum half (Ben White or G Horne).

LOL Scots

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Porter, Kelleher, Sheehan, Furlong, McCarthy, VdF, Doris, JGP, Henshaw or Ringrose, Lowe, Keenan.

Leinster players I expect to travel, he could take both Henshaw and Ringrose and possibly Ryan too but I think you go for a different player when Itoje essentially does what Ryan does at a slightly higher level. Osborne a potential bolter too but likely at the expense of Henshaw if it happens.

11 - 13 guys. Don't like that at all from a player welfare POV, every other season is turning into a 12 monther, but presumably the most players a single club will have ever provided if it comes to pass?

Edit: nah

British and Irish Lions: The team of the autumn - according to the data

Bundee Aki or Sione Tuipulotu? Jac Morgan or Tom Curry? The analysts at Opta have crunched the numbers to produce a Lions XV based on autumn performances.

www.bbc.co.uk

According to the data 7 Scottish players in the starting XV.

I despise "data" based selections in rugby.

You can always rely on the BBC comments section for some good old knicker wetting, xenophobia and trolling.

Yeah...I miss the old 606 forum

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I’m sure they’ll be someone in the comments demanding 15 Welsh players in the starting 23!

My prediction is more foreign born players on tour than actual Englishmen and Welshman combined.

I'm demanding 15 Welsh players in the starting 23 and I'm Irish

Your questions are stupid. Learn to use Google.

There is no such thing as a stupid question, just you either like a question or you don't like that question.

There is no such thing as a stupid question, just you either like a question or you don't like that question.

Unfortunately there is, you’ve spent time typing a question in here only to get a rude response, if you’d have typed that same question into Google (whose job it is to answer your questions) then you’d have the answer by now.

But you’ve now got two reply’s from a smart ass like me.

Also check your local rugby club - mine is doing Breakfast and a pint for £10 for the tests - and still discussing about the warm-ups.
Last night really reminded me how good the atmosphere can be - and that was whilst being the only Bath fan amongst a bunch of Gloucesters, and in a pub, not rugby club!
