No Prendergast. Thank God.
No Sam Prendergast
There’s a relief.
Sam P left at home to tackle his teddy.

Two for Wales.
Darcy Graham and Tom Jordan omitted.
Three lads who are only subs for Leinster making the Lions squad in James Ryan, Ronan Kelleher and Jack Conan.
Surely that’s unprecedented?
Definitely. A joke of a selection for a shambles of a concept

If they don’t beat Australia even with Prendergast (I know he didn’t get picked) they might as well give up. They’re useless.

Will be closer than we think IMO

Incredible to see 15 Irishmen in the squad even if some of them are only described as ‘finishers’. The authenticity of the concept is fucked.

Schmidt is a great coach, but he simply doesn’t have the squad. If what I’m reading is right that they’re wanting to bring in James O’Connor because they haven’t any experienced players says it all.

GT had the inside track here @gilgamboa. Ryan and McCarthy are haunted. I definitely would have had JvdF but Kelleher is probably just an impact/hard ground choice
When is the last time there hasn’t been a Lion from Cork or Limerick?
Yeah was just my opinion really Farrell always likely to pick players he was v familiar with but it’s a bit of a joke
What countries are represented for the expedition to Australia @ChairmanDan?
I see England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa.
Is Mack Hansen from Australia? Any Pacific Islanders in there?
If a 35 year old Bundee Aki plays in this…does that indicate he’s not interested in playing for Ireland in the next RWC? Surely his only hope of contributing materially when he’s 37/38 would be with managing his LOAD & not playing in this.
Tadhg Furlong looked absolutely shattered last weekend for the Ster.
Not a form choice surely?
