Thornley mentioning Jamie George in the possibles squad for the captaincy.
The fat bastard isn’t even 1st choice in his own national team.
Thornyhole is on the wind-up here.
You can’t beat that Sky Sports production quality

@ChairmanDan would be horrified by the lack of player initials and omission of the player home clubs from the presentation

He’s well in with the gaffer
George made the Covid Lions tour to South Africa, but was gutted that Ken Owens and Luke Cowan-Dickie played the Tests ahead of him. Afterwards, he consoled himself with two weeks of golf and drinking in Covid isolation in Ireland, staying at Andy Farrell’s house in south Dublin. That deep connection with this summer’s Lions head coach may be important, if he is to make a third tour.

It would be the greatest day for black people worldwide since the day Nelson Mandela was released if a black captain of the British Lions and a black Pope were to be announced on the same day.
Actually, it would be the greatest day for black people worldwide since the day Nelson Mandela was released if a black captain of the British Lions was to be announced.
And he will be announced.
James ‘Buster’ Douglas day.

George won’t get it but he is a massively popular and respected figure in the game amongst other players
Lions Tours to Australia always seem to deliver more memorable moments. Mad they didn’t do an Australia only tour for 90 years, the impact of Loig I guess.
1989 Battle of Ballymore.
Campo losing the series for Australia
O’Gara getting the head pucked off him
Austin Healy and Harrison having a classic Pom / Crim dust up
O’Driscoll in 2001.
Izzy Falou and George North were unplayable in 2013. It seems to be forgotten how Beale blew it for Australia in that first Test. Su’alli mentioned it in an interview recently.
Healy such a little bollox

The pair of them absolute cunts but Harrison managed to win the series for Australia while Healy basically got his marching orders from the Tour. 
The 1989 pack was full of proper hard men

In another time these would have been a band of brothers liberating Europe from Nazi tyranny.
The sort of men that made Britain great.

Great to watch those old clips with union jacks proudly on display & team captions saying “British Lions”. None of this politically correct “British and Irish Lions” claptrap that’s crept into society. Utter woke nonsense.

Harrison had the last laugh alright

The major dust up in the Battle of Ballymore in 1989 was iconic.
I’d no knowledge of the Harrison/Healey feud but very disappointed to see the late, great Eddie Butler criticising our own Donal Lenihan at the time.
The most wonderful time of any particular four year period.

Disappointing to see a few alickadoos supping on beer there. Why can’t rubby admit it’s alcohol problem?
Indigo at the O2 is an ICONIC venue.
Venue for the 2020 BDO World Darts Championship and now the 2025 British Lions squad announcement.
You’d do well to find two bigger sporting events/announcements on earth.
