First nations & Pasifika XV v British & Irish Lions

That's high praise! Probably too much.

Morgan is fine I find this entire conversation stupid. Its not like were talking prime Neil Back not being selected.
The Scottish did in 2017. The English did in 2013 for the third test and the Irish did in 2013 about O’Driscoll

You Brits and Irish have short memories
 
Morgan's record as Wales captain isn't great. They've finally won a game without him.

He's like a pound shop Richie McCaw.

Poundland has huge financial problems, is undergoing major restructuring and true to its name was sold for £1 recently.

I refuse to draw any analogies with Welsh rugby.
 
I didn't say we didn't complain but were not talking about dropping an all time world class player here.
Dropping O’Driscoll was trampling on the history of the Lions. It disfigured the traditions. It devalued the jersey. It dismantled the entire tour. Selecting 7 Welshman (which is less than the number of Irish in the XV this time around) flew in the face of what the Lions was all about. Some newspaper journalists were even calling for quotas.

Use Google time filters to read the old articles. The moaning in 2013 was incredible
 
I doubt any of the starting XV here will be in the starting XV on Saturday.

Most of them are just there for the extra vacation time now, and the likes of Kinghorn, Earl, Pollock, VdF, Ringrose, and Morgan are there to compete for the bench (or potentially more depending on injuries) in Tests 2/3.
