Sean O’Brien, Rob Kearney and skipper Rory Best are the Irish starting for the Lions today. Shane Williams and Christian Wade also start.
The Brumbies are without 6 Australian squad members but have put out the strongest team available.

Lions -10 evens looks decent.
I have done Brumbies + 14 in Ladbrokes yesterday. I still think the + 11 is value. It really is a dirt trackers team, Faletau looks like the only player who could force his way onto the test team. SOB and Youngs will probably get bench test spots.
Disgraceful from Wade there, Kearney didn’t cover himself in glory either.
A joke of a performance from the Lions, Gatland has a lot to answer for, Wade, Williams Barritt, Twelvetree’s, Stevens, and Best aren’t worthy to wear the jersey. I am happy in a way that they lost, Williams shouldn’t be near the team anyway. We will get to see the real Lions team Saturday, eventhough the captain of the team shouldn’t be on the subs bench never mind the team.
Anto - thanks for the Brumbies bet. You appear to be very clued in on world rugby football.
No problem Bandage, I’m sure MBB was on as well.
Move over Raymond Crotty, there’s a new rugby tipster in town
It is looking like North is fit to play, which will fuck up my Zebo bet. Bowe out and Tuilagi more than likely out.

[FONT=arial][SIZE=14px]Fairly happy with that team, I’d have Tipuric over Warburton, but that was never going to happen. Cuthbert gets his chance but I’d be very worried about him defensively. Good to see Heaslip and Youngs to get the 50-50 call over their Welsh counterparts. SOB is very unlucky not to get a bench spot, he offers way more than Lydiate at the moment. Zebo can feel hard done by as well, he should have got the number 23 jersey, but Maitland has to get in to be the Scottish representative.[/SIZE][/FONT]
Way off the mark. Didn’t even make the match day 23.
Anto
As I said yesterday with North proving his fitness, that was that bet fucked . He should have got the number 23 jersey, but you have to have a token Scot in somewhere.
Anto thinks Maitland is Scottish
Phrased a bit wrong but any clown would know what I meant.
I’m admitting I’m reading the other thread on the Lions here, but I think it is worth it, have to hand it to Sidney for showing up TTK for being the biggest spoofer of all time. I don’t know where he was getting those odds from, we all know now he just made them up to look good. Hopefully that will get rid of the spoofing cunt for good.
