The Lions in Oz

[Niigata Jack]

Its doesnt matter what I think. Farrell will judged by the result. The whole of Ireland was insensed when O'Driscoll was left out last time in Oz. It was only when the Lions pummelled them that Gatland was vindicated. You cant help but think this is in some small way related to that.

This Australian Rugby Team aren't any great shakes at this moment in time their philosophy is to just run everything, if the Lions don't win all three tests and comfortably questions need to be asked.

Wales were on red hot form last time the Lions went to Oz, and O’Driscoll was in the twilight of his career. AWJ was also available to play and fill the role of captain. Dropping Morgan from the 23 and starting Curry isn’t comparable. It seems an odd decision and yes, maybe fuelled in part by 2013.

There's rumour that Jac is carrying a knock, not sure if it's true but one of the boys put it on our Whatsapp group.

That’s what Irish fans said when Gatland dropped O’Driscoll for Jonathan Davies.

Tom Curry was a great player, he hasn't been that for a good few yrs Jac is the form No7 on the Tour how many times has he got to prove it, for him not even to be on the bench is an absolute joke.
Henry Pollock is a young decent player, but he's a bit of a loose cannon who plays for himself predominantly, he's young eager has good size and is quick he'll come if he listens and learns, he's more of an No 8 though in my opinion.

All Blacks v France on Sky sports now 3rd Test France 7-0 up decent start by France, Wales are a million miles for the standard being shown by these two unfortunately.

Great game, proper rugby chess match, All Blacks keeping it tight is a change from their normal flair game, they took France on up front and it worked for the most part, the only really opened up in those last 10-15mins, entaining game though, France looked like running away with the game in the first 30 mins of the game, but typically the AB's got that all important try right on half time.

All of them or just the bitter and twisted ones like me?

It's Great to see Gats looking so well the strain he was under as Wales head coach clearly took its toll, he's another Rugby man with exceptional experience whose advice he give to the WRU wasn't listened to.

He's younger than me too, Michael that is of course

Fin Russell has had an amazing start. Even did a ‘Trundle’ shoulder roll
