Lions 2021
Considering the other Lions thread was about squad speculation, I have decided to start a more general thread regarding the tour this year.

Re: Lions 2021
I'm really struggling to get up for the Lions. Partly because of it not being the same without crowds but more because of EJ completely messing up England in the 6N has changed the line up of the Lions to the extent that disinterest comes to mind.
Maybe it will change but for me Genge should be there (as should Youngs who was picked but I suspect he didn't fancy just making up the numbers this time.)

Re: Lions 2021
Youngs ruled himself out of selection.

Re: Lions 2021
Agreeing with Scott1 for the third time. Lions?
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Re: Lions 2021
At least the Japanese game is on free-to-air…
