South Africa vs British & Irish Lions - Test 1

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

It's the wrong Wyn-Jones. This would have been a perfect opportunity to get rid of Mr Waving Arms and Flopping

 

[General Melchett]

Out of all the players to get injured, it has to be the one where there's no credible back up. Sod's law!

I wonder if Gatland is glad he flew Kelleher out now instead of another LH. There could be an SOS call to Marler if Jones is out next weekend too.

Apparently Its confirmed... I'd honestly start mako, and let Sutherland manage malherbe

Yeah makes sense. If Sutherland gets injured early on then the Lions are fooked. It'll be RWC final deja vu with Mako face down in the mud at scrum time.

While Wyn Jones was my starter I don't think there's a massive difference between him and Sutherland

Mako on the bench.....let's hope he continues/improves on his tour form, rather than going back to his...last several years form

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Marler, Genge, Healy - I'd probably go for Genge tbh

Andrew porter, let him play loose. Or sexton, either will do

How about we just fly out the entirety of the Irish team and have them all start next week?

Michael Lowry full back plz

Porter was in the original squad but got injured.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Warm up on television without Republic Irish fellows.

We're playing them now in the women's comptituon.

Also doing our bit, 1-0 up. Scientifically the Boks are doomed based on this.

Eric O'Sullivan is ready and waiting for the call then

Porters injured but he's a fantastic player and was in the original squad - not the craziest shout

 

[ncurd]

Never thought I'd be sad about a Welsh player going down on a match day. The thought of Mako and Farrell now coming in to win the game.

 

[Which Tyler]

Warm up on television without Republic Irish fellows.

And now the Irish ladies are doing the same without their GB colleagues

The commentary is gonna love the story of the Saracens boys coming on to close it out,
"They're proven winners"

Ok whats the predicitions? Dont sit on the fence and claim thats what you thought.

I considered the Lions favourites in the lead up but the match day hype has got to me so i go Boks to win 28-26

Boks by less than 10

Maybe 26 - 18

 

[ncurd]

I stick to my original bet of 10, Boks bench far stronger.
