What's your squad look like?

Seeing the fees and profit sharing that this Lions tour is poised to do amd the loss posted by NZ rugby today really solidifies that despite what many say on here the Lions aren't going anywhere. They're too much of a cash cow.

Until 20 Leinster players are selected. The pride I will have seeing my club not only destroy themselves on a yearly basis but also destroy rugby's greatest institution will be immeasurable.

Have you got sources? I'd like a look at the figures out of pure curiosity

Link for the stream, just in case you're not paying 65 quid for the questionable privilege of hearing a bunch of names read out in person. You might have to provide your own canapés, or just finish your crisps as it starts at 1.45pm

Lowe
Freeman
Graham
Roebuck
OHC - Blazing the prem
Kinghorn

And if need be we can call on the experience of Daly or Josh Adams etc.

Theres plenty of options.

Yeah - most of whom had already been discussed.

Come on now …OHC is not a Lions contender.

According to the Times…..

Estimated to make £200m.

60:40 split in favour of Aus. Previously 86:14 in favour of host nation.

Players estimated to reive £80-£100K depending on commercial success. Flat rate for all regardless of whether they play in tests or not.

Clubs will get profit sharing windfalls based on number of players selected. Could be up to £1m for Leinster and c£400K for Saracens, Sale and Saints.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Could be up to £1m for Leinster

Oh baby, I'm back on board. Wallace Sititi and Finn Smith as our signings next year please.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Oh baby, I'm back on board. Wallace Sititi and Finn Smith as our signings next year please.

By all means have Finn Smith.

Fin Smith is staying with Saints and England.

#obnoxiouspedant ….. although I didn’t call out Olyy for referring to Ewels as Ewers in the England thread as I’d heard that a cease and desist letter is on its way from the SH.

Keep your mitts off Fin you ********

Rumour has it the money is going on sending Sam Prendergast to tackle school.

He'll be the first potential lions ten to go voluntary and not from a citing.

 

[Geordie]

Why not? Hes been playing some top class rugby for Leicester and has developed as a player.

I dont think he'll be picked remotely but hypothetically if he was, then the lions would be picking a good winger.

Before tackle school he needs a gym membership, a good PT and a lorry load of whey protein powder.

Or two weeks at the Stormers training camp

 

[MarkyH]

If we're after out and out pace out wide but with a good defensive game the IFW should be fit. And I wouldn't be surprised to see him go with the Lions

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso: England winger set to be fit for summer tours

England winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso could be fit for the summer international tours, says Exeter boss Rob Baxter.

[pagliaccio_euforico]

bbc really missed the mark here. Could have had biggar on the liveblog ******** on everyone.

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

I wonder if Bundee AKI will be the first name read out again in alphabetical order. That was a shock last time, though since then he has proved his quality.

Nah he's been broken and off the field for too long. Let the lad recover properly and see what form he's in for the Autumn tests

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Oh god will we have to sit through loads of chat first before they list the squad. I thought they would do it straight away

The production values are completely off the charts
