The Lions in Oz

[Niigata Jack]

Made this a sticky for those of you who enjoy rugby. I’m good like that see.

Top man, you're a very nice man.

Great to see Tomas score 2 tries for the Lions.

I just hope that hamstring injury is just a twinge.

He was looking good for a start in the first test, but with that being only 3 weeks away I think he'll struggle.

They've got a replacement on standby.

Its not that its cause we only had two Welshmen there and to lose one

And then there was one.

Tomos Williams is ruled out for remainder of tour due to hamstring injury.

Ben White on his way to replace him.

Horrible situation for Williams. His performance off the bench against Argentina and from the start against Western Force suggested he would be pushing Gibson-Park for a Test start. Unlikely to be picked next time when he'll be 34 either.

Just like Howley in S/A 97. Brutal.

Dominant again, as they should be.
Jac Morgan MAN of the match.

I saw his Try on facebook and that's all I've seen of the game unfortunately, work got in the way as always.

So another player is ruled out injured after being a stand-out in the warm up games so far. Commiserations to Elliot Daly who was looking great at fullback.

In response, Andy Farrell calls up his son, who isn't a full-back, is probably past his best, hasn't played international rugby for 2 years, and has just had a nightmare spell in France. Farrell says they have loads of full-backs, despite Kinghorn arriving late from Top 14 and Keenan being injured. Hmmm.
