Damn right cue it! I'll get the ball rolling. I think the Lions selectors have just made three pretty terrible blunders: dropping BO'D, Roberts ahead of Tuilagi and to omit Tipuric from the XV.Cue the sh*t storm............
Thing is if his hammer is still dodgy then don't play him as Roberts hasn't been inform. Tuilagi has been in super form so how is he behind Davies.I'm not feeling particularly optimistic.
Think dropping BOD is a big mistake. Would've started Youngs, Tuilagi and Murray.
I'd put money on Roberts hamstring going again, but then I'm guessing that's why they've got Manu on the bench.
It's like Gatland and Howley are using the match to say "Nah, look I told you our tactics could beat the aussies" when it never has in the past (bar one lucky break in the first test).
Heck.

I don't understand Parling at 5, he is too lightweight, Ian Evans would have been the better choice as he has a great partnership with AWJ.Ritchie Gray would also be a better choice. Tipuric would be my first choice at 7 also
