Re: Lions 2021
So no English in the starting XV, ok so there's a few not been available with playoff games but that is quite stark.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.
Re: Lions 2021
Officially, a decision has not been made as to whether this game will be granted full test match status, but according to this by Kelleher (the Daily Fail rugby correspondent), it won’t be.

Expect more of the same
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
I just can't get up for this one for some reason. Saying that I wasn't overly excited in 2017 or 2013,SA 2009 is another story though!
