Im hoping we actually see some Scottish players on this tour rather than some players from South Africa who pretend to be Scottish.

You'll get 9. JGP 10. Anscombe 11. DVDM 12. Aki 13. Tuipulotu 14. Steyn 15. Hansen.
And you'll like it.

Sinfield strikes me as a bloke who would or could be brilliant in a Lions environment. Early days in his coaching career but i think comes away with credit from RWC and is an obvious motivator and leader of people. Think the short time frame challenge of bringing the group together would be right up his alley.

Do Farrell and Sinfield get on?

I would've said the opposite with how poor England's defence was for a while after he joined - seems the type to build an environment rather than be a flash in a pan kinda coach


I wouldn't be surprised to see Catt as attack coach, POC as Forwards and maybe Forshaw (as mentioned before) as defence

Not sure how much credit he has from the RWC. Given the draw it was a minimum requirement of getting a semi-final. Pre world cup England were terrible. No new coach bounce at all. There are probably better coaches out there and Farrell can do the fire and brimstone pretty well himself.

Although same applies to him as it would Edwards.

Edwards works for the French Rugby Union, ROG works for a club so there is a difference

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

With the amount of Leinster players likely to travel I can't see ROG being popular either hahah.

There's a lot of talent in clubs in the UK and Ireland that should be tapped into I think. I'd be keen on Vesty if I was Faz, doing great at Saints and could build a relationship to entice him into the Ireland set up.

When does the French season end though? Although I would love to see ROG be part of the lions coaching team he's not going to leave his club duties early to go off with the Lions especially if La Rochelle are playing in the final.

Might as well just bin off the UK at this point. Actually bin off England as well, would be better to go back to Mercia, Wessex, Northumbria etc and just go back to raiding each other every few weeks and having a good dust up. We might even be able to kick you Saxons out this time and take back the island for ourselves.

We're throwing away a very good chance at a grand slam to allow Farrell pursue a vanity project against literally the worst team to ever play rugby.

And now he might undeservedly pick his, future Irish international, son over Sam Prendergast so he can make some bank.

They're playing Wales?

Wales fail definition 1 because they're definitely not enjoying anything and I'm not convinced they're reaching the threshold of taking part either.
