Lions - Six Nations 2025 Auditions

[BPM]

If Farrell goes for a bigger squad, I could see a couple of sentimental picks in there for Owen, Healy and O'Mahoney. Possibly Lawes too. I wouldn't agree with any of them though.

I think picking Owen would be a PR disaster. With the squad being announced in front of 3k fans at the O2 it wouldn't shock me if there were audible boos. If he's hell bent on taking him better that he's a late call up with some cover story about needing more cover at 10/12.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

That will be interesting to see if Faz Senior picks his son (I have no idea how he is playing in France atm). But that would surely impact the dynamic of the squad and put in the minds of the rest of the squad that whether he's going to pick on merit from the start.

His move to Racing has been a disaster. Absolutely no way he could be picked on merit.
