Think they've got that wrong straight away with the back 3! Williams will be FB,Watson on one wing and Rees Zammitt or the big SA guy as a surprise on the other.

Imagine if Duhan plays versus his brother Akker! That’s got to be a first surely?

& a big statement about what is wrong with international rugby, the rugby mercenaries should never of been selected for the Lions.

To be honest in terms of his selection, I was more concerned by D. van der Merwe's defence rather than him being a South African.

The residency rule is flawed with players moving all over the world to play. Don’t know why they moved away from the grandparents law.Wayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 1:29 pm& a big statement about what is wrong with international rugby, the rugby mercenaries should never of been selected for the Lions.
Imagine it in football. No one would be able to compete with England, Spain and Germany.

Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021
Assuming everybody is on form .... the 2021 Lions Squad seems a little weaker than previous ones. E.g. how many of the 2021 squad or Will Greenwoods 15 (!!!) would be 1st or 2nd in their position worldwide ?

Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021
If authorised would be the largest attendance of spectators at a rugby union fixture in the UK since March 2020. Great news.
