Nobody takes Stephen Jones seriously mate. He is a wum and a poor one at that.

Who was it here that mixed up the Stephen Jones’ mate, do you recall?

Jones is a racist half wit its no wonder boycott reads him

It’s a money making racket for explayers and travel agents ffs :grinning::grinning::grinning:

Of course it doesn’t go ahead without fans.

Mickey mouse concept. Ireland should ban their players from playing as wrecked for world cups after it.

We had poor seasons (3/5) in 2005, (1/5) in 2013 and (3/5) in 2017 in the lead up to quite a few recent Lions tours. Surely the likes of Ringrose, Henshaw, Leavy and possibly Johnny Sexton worth consideration for inclusion too though.

Sexton is barely pro 12 level anymore. He could genuinely get killed on a lions tour at his age.

It’s such a shame and break with tradition that there aren’t test matches at Newlands and Loftus Versfeld.

Finn Russell very much in pole position for the Number 10 jersey as things currently stand. He’s been outstanding over the last 12 months.

I don’t recall mate.

Officer class Farrell at inside centre?

Possibly, there’s not too many outstanding candidate there. Farrell’s performance levels have dipped considerably since the World Cup though.

His club situation can not be helping ??

Had there been a Lions tour in 2018 we’d have had a huge number in the squad/panel/roster. We’ve declined in the meantime.

Judging by his autobiography Sean O’ Brien is still hopeful of selection.

We had a load in 2009 when we won the grand slam and Leinster won their first HEC. Quinlan dropped for gouging, Flannery injured then ROG gave away the decisive penalty in the second test.

Yeah we timed that one well. The likes of Jamie Heaslip, Rob Kearney and Luke Fitzgerald were bolters in 2009.

Balcony Bob had a game for the ages in the second test. Some physicality in that game. Concussed fellas running around tackling with their faces

That was a test match for the ages savage physicality

Phil Vickery got an awful hiding in the first test from the beast.
