@Sharkin40 @WaywardScot @TightFive_Rugby Two-time Lions tourist if I remember correctly - 2001 and 2005.

[James Lauren @_jameslt]

@Sharkin40 @jimmyfine89 @TightFive_Rugby Agreed. Croft wasn’t in the original tour party either, was a late call-up after Quinlan was banned for gouging.

@Atticus_75 @TightFive_Rugby Ferris! Still remember the injury that robbed him of a ‘09 Lions Test jersey. He was on a fire that tour pre-injury.

[James Lauren @_jameslt]

@sixbyeight @TightFive_Rugby He was a 2009 Lion, had a good career.

@JimOBrien2012 @TightFive_Rugby Polledri. What. A. Player. Him and Negri in the Italian back-row was quite something.

[James Lauren @_jameslt]

@SamRobertsComms @TightFive_Rugby First name that sprung to mind - Tom Rees.

[James Lauren @_jameslt]

@CharlieFelix @willgkelleher The five being Bordeaux, Toulouse, La Rochelle, Leinster and Northampton?

[James Lauren @_jameslt]

@gallagherbren58 @CharlesRTel Ah that Biarritz side, those were the good old days. Fond memories - Brusque, Yachvili, Lund, Traille et al.

@TEnglishSport Just finished ‘This is your Everest’. An outstanding piece of rugby writing - it really is. Thank you to yourself and Peter. A brilliant read.

@T2Rugby @alexspinksport @Rugbyworldmag Arguably Wilkinson unfortunate not to be a Lion in ‘09 too. I think he turned it down which left ROG, Jones and Hook.

@willgkelleher @TimesSport @SportSJA @AlexMLowe @AlfredReynolds5 It was a great listen, Will. Really enjoyed it.

@JontyUpNorth @HeTalksRugby @NCL_RedBulls What’s happened to Fergus-Lee Warner and Freddie Clarke this season?

[James Lauren @_jameslt]

@EngRugbyDebate I’m not convinced. Bang average in AUNZ Lions game in summer and he’s essentially an All Black reject not good enough to get in New Zealand squad. Time will tell though, hope he comes good.
