@Adrian65010629 @lionsofficial Chessum is on the bench, likely was earl v pollock for bench and jac is unlucky for sure. Lowe has been quiet for his standards but I think VDM is too limited in defence. It’s nothing new class tour players miss out on test 1 - think Obrien in ‘13 or Henderson in ‘17 etc
@brettruganalyst Obviously Ulster glasses here but is McCann and Stewart moore anywhere near the list? Really like treacy at Connacht any time I see him play
@thepaulwilliams Everyone has an opinion but if this is a lions trial (in front of Andy Farrell as well) Keenan has won this hands down - kinghorn has been 5/10.
'By the time that you watch this I will no longer be here'
A poignant final message from the Leeds Rhinos legend and MND campaigner recorded before his death for a special BBC documentary 'There's Only One Rob Burrow'

Let’s give a play by play of the final maul in #RSAvIRE
79:49 Line Out thrown to PSdT, maul set
80:07 Maul Driven off the line by Irish defence
80:08 Maul Collapses
80:11 Referee looks for it and says ‘Where is it?
80:13 Referee moves around to the far side and blows the whistle
He blows it up for not coming out.
While the ball was visible on the left side of the maul the referee on the right side was unsighted. Call is 100% the correct, hard to argue otherwise.

But someone needs to tell Stephen Jones that the London 7s are next weekend.
“Yesterday at Twickenham, nearly 50,000 were expected for the London leg”
He’s written a whole article about an event that hasn’t even happened yet…
@thepaulwilliams No cards - Ulster flat as a pancake - Connacht felt like had double figure turnovers and played all the rugby which wasn’t much - for a neutral would say it was a brutal watch
