What's your squad look like?

[Which Tyler]

Whoever starts Saturday will be the core of the test side.

Hope to gods Russell gets a rest though - he's already played 2 matches this week, let's not give him a 3rd - and that's after a really gruelling season where he'd exceeded his quota of matches before the club semifinals

 

[Saintjay]

Still think they'll go with the midweek team as more likely starters as time goes on. They're potential the harder games with a 10 day rest before the tests.

Elliot Daly: Lions full-back sent for X-ray on injured arm

Full-back Elliot Daly will have an X-ray after injuring his forearm in the second half of the British and Irish Lions' win over the Queensland Reds.

I'm certainly not Daly's biggest fan, and I've made my feelings clear on this.

I do, however, think he's played very well on this tour, even if his defence is still lacking, and hope his fit to continue.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Any word on Daly? Saw something on instagram suggesting he's dusht but doubt there's anything more than speculation in it.

Think Graham deserves the spot. Wouldn't be surprised to see Osborne as FB, Centre, wing (kinda) cover.

Broken arm seems highly likely from what I've seen. I think his face said enough when it happened and when he came off tbh..

Given his proximity and inexcusable omission from the original squad, I reckon Darcy gets the call. If Osbourne gets in ahead of Blair Murray I think the Welsh would implode.

Interesting one anyway. Daly was probably being primed for the 23 shirt. If Farrell just wants the best player for a midweek side it'll be Daly. I think if he still wants all the versatility it'll be Osborne, don't think Blair Murray is in the conversation to be honest.

Teams for the tour games will be named tomorrow, might be able to sniff out the news from that if the Lions are slow to announce.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tom Jordan IMO

 

[Rugbyfan564]

The Telegraph think it be a utility back being called up to replace Daly but they don't say a name. Farrell has effec8nly Sid he won’t call up another specialist full back.

That'll be Jordan, 10, 12 and 15

Andy Farrell tells fans to get over ‘nonsense’ negativity around selecting son Owen

Veteran of three tours to be given sensational return by father Andy after Elliot Daly suffers a suspected broken arm

Yeah because you replace an injured utility back who covers the back three and 13 with an out of form 10/12. Makes sense.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

So far this tour I’ve been most disappointed with curry and Conan.

Watching curry he seems quite, can’t get into the games and not making the strong positive impacts I’m used to seeing.no does why.

Conan for me is average so far, not done much wrong but if we had actual options at 8 he would already be looking at the midweek (only from what I’ve seen so far).

I could really see pollock at 8 as at least he has a point of difference and some fight about his play.

British and Irish Lions: Owen Farrell joins tour of Australia as Elliot Daly suffers broken arm

Former England captain Owen Farrell is called up to the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia after Elliot Daly suffers a broken arm.

www.bbc.co.uk

Omg

Owen retires from international rugby to avoid the hate from English supporters

Proceeds to **** off the rest of the UK and Ireland

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Didn't think Farrell Sr. would be that dumb, but here we are

Marcus now just a full time 15 for the tour?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

100000% this was planned I feel

Owen Farrell with the punditry gig was made for this moment, his dad prob told him that he would be a fly half cover and that him being based in Aus already will be used as the reason for his call up

 

[McTallshort]

Please Please no. We don't need another fly half or centre we need another back 3 player preferably a full back.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Hell Yeah

 

[ncurd]

Haven't been following the tour too much as I've been busy when matches have been on and early game steamroller are boring.

But this ARGHHHHHH

Also why my fears Farrell Sr. can't be England coach whilst Owen still plays are entirely justified.

Hell be in the match day squad just you wait.

 

[McTallshort]

Would rather see Rentaghost get called up
