[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 575809, member: 55446"] FWIW, I think the Lions have played their three easiest opponents now. The Barbarians are a mess currently - can't give many teams a decent game despite the decent players they pull. Force are (by results in Super Rugby) the weakest of the Australian teams and they played a weakened team. They made the excuse of "Super Rugby commitments", but no one else can make that excuse because Super Rugby isn't on for Australian teams until after the Lions tour. Combined Counties are the weakest team on the tour. The Lions should get four decent non-tests in Reds, Tahs, Brumbies and Rebels though. I must admit that the Force thing leaves a bitter taste. With the money that the Lions bring to Australian rugby, solutions should have been put in place so that Force could field a strongest XV. I would be for the Lions finding alternatives to games against the Barbarians and Combined Counties-style games though. [/QUOTE]
