"Imagine the scene, AWJ has just teleported in and then the announcer says 'Bundee Aki'."

I think it's Price isn't it? Kinda looks like Daly but I'm going with Price. You're making me doubt myself now.

The uniforms look dope; now I want one

I swear most of those players just all go to the same barbers.

One of the Irish 7s players literally had a vid of him and about half the squad in the same barber on insta there last week.

Chris Harris strikes me as the type of Scotland player to support England in football

I had the exact same thought.

Probably supports England in the rugby as well tbf

I really like the black training top, might get one (or more realistically: wait until the price drop after the tour)

My bad. Apologies. Didn't think. Just wanted to spare you all clicking on a WOL link. I'm nice like that.

Wonder if Tipuric trains with the backs or the forwards?

 

[FLOBALOB]

LCD and George not available at the moment apparently. Does suggest he's next off the rank though.

LCD did have a big ice pack on his ankle after sundays game. He has had problems with his ankles before so maybe he could be a doubt for tour.

Screw the tour he's got to get through playing Sale again first!

It's not his age that's the issue, look at Simon Shaw: pulling up trees at international level well into his 70s

I remember Matfeild at his pet season with us….yes he was too old.

Yes it's Price.

Interested to see where selection is placed with the 9s, Murray is the experienced hand but I quite like Davies, Price gave a good showing for us in the 6N so part of me feels it may be his time to really push hard and pick up decent game time.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

9 and 10 are huge areas of weakness in the squad to be honest. Murray has shown flashes of the commanding player he was and they're going to need every bit of it for a chance. Davies and Price are good high tempo 9s but I don't see them working well in a thrown together side, good Lions 9s tend to be high percentage players and strong defenders in the Phillips, Murray and Dawson all very different to Price and Davies.

Good luck beating a good SA team without good halfbacks. Should have picked *checks notes* Marcus Smith...
