You’re some cunt 
Stephen Jones (top rugby scribe after Gerry Thornley) is absolutely livid with the schedule announced for the 2021 tour.
Nothing only a shite out half
And rightly so. Only 8 games with 3 of them mid week. No time to develop a team. Lump on the Saffers for a whitewash
What is it about rugby and going to South Africa when they really shouldn’t

Owen Farrell surely gone for the Leinster game. Beyond stupid.
Will Stephen Jones be doing an expected team following the internationals this weekend ???
He died didnt he?
The doyen of rugby writers Stephen Jones has selected a 36 man touring party in the Sunday Times today to tour South Africa. Just 3 players from Ireland make his squad. 16 from England, 9 from Wales and 8 from Scotland.
Sadly it looks all but inevitable now that the British Lions tour will be cancelled this summer and postponed to 2022.

Who are the three from Ireland?
Tadhg Furlong, James Ryan and John Cooney. Furlong the only one in his test starting XV.

Stephen Jones is the Michael Duignan of rugby journos. And a low grade wum to boot

Speaking to a guy who works for the British loins, he gives it a 50/50 chance of going ahead
Not viable without fans
That lad on the left wing for Ulster last night looked daycent.

Jonesy rightly knows that the Lions is the pinnacle of rugby football
I can picture Jonesy on the high veldt explaining the ferocity of a Calcutta cup test to enthralled locals

Correct and that’s why I would predict it’s a near certainty to be cancelled this summer. If it goes ahead this summer, there won’t be many travelling supporters, myself included.

Cooney can’t even make the Ireland squad but he’s in line for the lions?
He’s a bit of a bolter alright.
