Alan Medic Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Gatland was supposed to keep it quiet but it would appear not in Wales.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/britishandirishlionsrugby/10008892/Picking-Sam-Warburton-as-Lions-captain-would-create-a-real-headache-in-the-back-row.htmlA headache according to Brian Moore.

Chillaxed Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 A bit of 'old school' banter, Brian Moore style:"So comprehensive was the mauling it moved Sky co-commentator Stuart Barnes to make the astute observation that ?there isn?t a tighthead in the world that hasn?t taken a pounding from an older man.? Indeed." Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/30042-the-lions-tour-of-oz-2013/page/2/#findComment-638181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Medic Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Squad being announced tomorrow. I think it will be more about who doesn't get picked for a while! JW should be picked as a 10 but having commitments in France may not be in his favour.

Chillaxed Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 No Robshaw, Best and inclusion of Matt Stevens the big surprises for me. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/30042-the-lions-tour-of-oz-2013/page/2/#findComment-640432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Mac Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wales 15,England 10,Ireland 9,Scotland 3I think Ireland can be happy with its representation, most of the potential candidates made the squad, with Rory Best the obvious exception. The team has the potential to have a good balanced between England Wales and Ireland, but don't be surprised if its more than half welsh.

david_carnell Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Can't believe there is no room for Robshaw. Shocking decision considering Croft is going. Also amazed that Hartley gets in ahead of Best.Good choice of Scottish backs but surprised Maitland gets in ahead of Visser.

Mick Mac Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wilkonson ruled himself out apparently - so maybe Farrell (or less likely sexton) was lucky.

Alan Medic Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'd have liked to have seen Madigan picked as a third no.10 who can play elsewhere. I'm sorry Zebo isn't going as he's exciting to watch. The selections of Hartley & Stevens leave me cold. No Rory Best either. Too many crooked darts? Still there will be replacements even before the tour starts I bet.

I think - like Robshaw - he will join the party when the inevitable injuries occur.

Alan Medic Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Looks like Rory Best is in with a chance of touring now that Dylan Hartley is likely to get a ban. What a plonker.

SheldorAFK Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I can see Hibbard and Best challenging for the no.2 jersey but Youngs has proven recently that his throwing in the line out is very poor. Lions will definitely need to make use of the ability of O'Connell and Alun Wyn in the line out Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/30042-the-lions-tour-of-oz-2013/page/2/#findComment-649436 Share on other sites More sharing options...

red devil Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 In order to save time and get a Super League set up, I've auto-selected a team Mick. The Super League is called EDF Rugger Buggers, and the Pin No. is 8038592. Anybody else is welcome to join in. It costs nothing and you can have up to 3 teams...

red devil Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Another thing I've spotted is that there is Public/Private option for your team. It's defaulted to Public, so unless you click on Private, everyone else in the League will be able to view your team...
