I hate it when people use snapchat filters on their grindr profile pics.

That's really made me laugh, great find.

There should be an announcement this morning re AWJ. Trying not to get ahead of myself but sounds like it will be positive news. Whatever you think about him as a player whether it be he's world class or the worst lock in the squad or what have you, on a personal level it's great for him. No player deserves to have a special thing like a lions tour taken away from them and their families but a 4th tour as captain, that's special. Fingers crossed he's all good.

If he lasted 7mins vs 10th ranked then he should last 0.7 mins vs 1st ranked - so about 42seconds

Well if that happens at least he would've contributed more to the team than Johnny Hill.

No, I know you don't particularly rate him. If I wanted to be hyperbolic I would've said Itoje, clearly. I was just stating a fact. 42 seconds of AWJ would contribute more to the tour than Hill even if he played every minute of every game

Yeah its enough time for him at least commit at least one rolling away offence without the ref pinging him.

Exactly. Unlike Itoje and Hill who would get pinged.

Hill had an offload to have Adams score. AWJ waving arms don't do that….

That was the old AWJ.

The new AWJ has a much improved range of motion at the shoulder. He can offload without even trying now.

The new AWJ has cortisone running through his veins instead of blood.

It says "tour captain" in that release so I assume he's taken it back

 

[Welsh Exile]

This is great news. Whatever you think about his ability as a player at the very least most people agree that he drives high standards and has the respect of people he plays with. That and he's our captain I suppose so there is that as well

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

I feel sorry for Murray. AWJ shouldn't take captaincy off him

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

And Murray is a better SH than AWJ is…there's that also.

 

[Welsh Exile]

I wonder if it will be a good thing for Murray. His form hasn't been great and I'm not saying that's down to the extra pressure of being a captain but I don't think taking it away from him will worsen his form.
