@Murray_Kinsella Who's captain now do ye know Murray, in a pub and can't hear commentary 😂

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@Zilch0284 You should probably take a break from rugby in 2029 so 😂😂

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@RugbyInsideLine Pure bollox 😂

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@BillRoddham @RugbyInsideLine But still completely of the opinion that Aki and Ringrose are better, but the way the tour has fallen, Jones and Tuipolotu is a fair choice

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@BillRoddham @RugbyInsideLine Yeah fair. Again, I'm okay with the Lions selections tbh, seems fair enough. I'd say Kinghorn will be in for Keenan but it's tight. Would take Hansen over Freeman but again very tight. No point dropping Jones and Tuipolotu either, keep consistency

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@BillRoddham @RugbyInsideLine Ah I'd still take Crowley or Prendergast at the moment, Russell looking good on this tour though 👌

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@Mick_O_Keeffe Ireland will not submit to racist scum. Acting like Croke Park does not welcome all. Fucking hell the Queen of England visited at one stage and there wasn't this much shite, and they massacred our people. Just shows it's all about the colour of your skin. Get a grip lads 👏

@SebeleTobokani @robfcarver Here we go 😂

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

Lions starting 10 ranked right now:
1) Sam Prendergast
2) Fin Smith
3) Marcus Smith
4) Finn Russell

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@SebeleTobokani @robfcarver Looking forward to it man 😂 best of luck with your picks

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@SebeleTobokani @robfcarver I can only admire this level of hate 😂

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@SebeleTobokani @robfcarver If (when) Prendergast is selected, will it really be that surprising to you? Fin Smith, Sam Prendergast and Marcus Smith are all such exciting options.

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@SebeleTobokani @robfcarver You're so angry man, we're talking about a 21 year old kid here. He'll have to take criticism but every lesson at that age will only make him better. I think you'd be mad not to bring him on Lions tour. Him and Smith will fit straight into their gameplan. Great battle

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@SebeleTobokani @robfcarver Awh Fin Smith definitely has the 10 shirt at this stage, huge performance from Northampton 👏👏 Pollock, Freeman and Mitchell making big strides too ... Prendergast will still go on the Lions I'd say but Fin Smith is well ahead atm

@fbontheditch @SimonZebo @PremSportsIRL We are certainly Human 😪😂

@RugbyInsideLine Maybe it's just the difference between Premiership and Test match rugby... I'd say Farrell will be looking at European form over anything when doing final considerations for the 10 shirt

[Simon Birchall @SimonBirchallye]

@SebeleTobokani @robfcarver Would love if Farrell went but can't see it. Prendergast going relies on Leinsters success. If they win Europe and he's at 10, he goes on the Tour. Lions have never been afraid to bring a young player. Fin Smith and him will give great competition for the test start 💪
