2021 British & Irish Lions Squad

[Welsh Exile]

Send Itoje back.

That's a good point, actually - surely they can bin Beard off now?

He's done **** all since he arrived, not like he'll be missed - especially with another guy to take his spot of doing **** all

 

[Crash Hamster]

AWJ back in training, so that's one starting test spot penned in

First Test, 7 minutes in, one tackle, I can hear the 'pop' from here. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

I guess Beard didn't wave his arms at the ref enough and lie on enough rucks so AWJ is desperately needed

 

[Bada-Bing!]

How have LCD's darts been? It was much improved when I saw him throw in in the Six nations. Is is still considered a weakness?

 

[AlRums]

We shouldn't have won any tests in New Zealand. The red card won it for us.

That's why we have so many Welsh in the team

Could be Gatland's plan. Starting XV all Welsh, get 5 South Africans sent off and then bring on the proper players who know how to score

I love the amount of whinging about midweek players who won't be getting starts either way. So much bitterness and home country loyalty shining through. Only a few months ago Gats was praised for picking a more even squad. Hilarious.

@Welsh Exile you see what he called AWJ?

I think you need to read this thread when the squad was announced again....

Why can't we all get along? If we were all travelling watching the side we'd all get along, we'd exchange stories and get drunk together in SA but stay at home on the internet and we have to be all toxic.

We do get along but some questions are perfectly valid.

AWJ potentially be parachuted in straight after recovery from an injury and without a warm up match? That's obviously bias in coaching

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Does anyone actually deny that Gatland is extremely biased to certain players and against two of the nations at this rate? Like, it couldn't be more obvious.

Being biased towards certain players is just called having an opinion.

Discriminating against a player based on their nationality is something totally different and pretty hard to prove and also something I would bet is a load of bollix.

Fly in Wednesday. Little cameo off the bench on Saturday. Jobs a good-un.

 

[General Melchett]

Warren says the decision on whether AWJ flies out depends on what his medical reports say tomorrow. Those medical reports will say exactly what Warren wants them to say.

Is that a joke? It's hard to tell.

Watch it and draw your own conclusion. It sounds to me like AWJ is as good as in SA by the weekend.

Just finished it. Funny that Rassie seemed to be the one who broke the story. Lol. He's got some good spies.

There's no way he would read a medical report that said he wasn't fit and fly him out. He wouldn't do that. I don't think any coach would endanger a player like that. He always said if he gets through contact then they'll make a decision then. Sounds like he'll be doing a double session tomorrow with the Wales squad so we'll know then.
