To win is not as important as playing with style!
Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021
What a call that is! Jones and now WG,I suppose the only thing would be kicking penalties in your own half and he can cover so many positions from the 23 shirtWayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 10:47 amWell it doesn't have Daly in it.Scott1 wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 9:32 amBetter than the one WG has picked imokk20gb30 wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 8:34 am An alternative lions Squad :

Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021
& covers them equally badly at the moment. Some of Gatlands choices are odd but you can see the idea/rationale behind most of them (Kay made a good point last night), but Daly, Mako & Hill are really strange, but hey I am not a International Rugby Coach.Scott1 wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 11:05 amWhat a call that is!

Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021
I think perhaps parts of this Lions squad is picked with the added need of versatility compared to previous tours.
It's not like they even know for sure what the situation might be around travel and quarantine requirements if they need injury replacements.

100% agree.kk20gb30 wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 8:43 am Never thought I could bring my self to say this but I really hope Dan Biggar looks after himself.Finn Russell for all of his talent tends to produce either jackass or jackpot performances.The lions can't afford to give anything away in what will undoubtedly be a very difficult series.
Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021
Clearly the Lions means more Kyle Sinckler than it does to some on here:

Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021
I think it’s becoming oh so clear that Gatlands selections are pathetic and unjust for many players, It’s not the fact that one quality player lost out to another it’s the fact Gatland has picked, injured, out of form, the golden hand shake boys. Sinckler and Genge are the sort of characters you need in SA, both outstanding players and both will not take a backward step against any bully boy SA antics. Players like Rees-Zammit are going to be targeted and destroyed by the SA big boys, it’s Matthew Tait all over again, Gatland has been naive and one dimensional in his picks, in a way you hope the boys who didn’t get picked don’t pick up the phone when the call comes, let the lead balloon drop!!

Jack Conan replaced after 24 minutes,not sure on the severity of the injury yet.

Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021
Genge and Sinckler’s omissions are the puzzlers.
How many times does Macko have to get demolished in the scrum before international coaches spot it. Jamie George like many of the Sarries players looked out of touch in the 6N.
Sinckler has found his form, and Genge is back to form having wasted too much time bench warming for England.
How Daly gets picked having proven, time after time, that he just doesn’t cut it at the top level?
I have no issues with Rees-Zammit being selected over May. I don’t see him being liability.
