Breaking: had info that Daly is out of World Cup and danger that Watson might miss it too. Would be another double whammy for England in period of turmoil. Story on @MailSport …

📺 EVERY other club has at least DOUBLE the amount of TV picks.
This is starting to feel a little personal now, guys.
We only lost once last season on TV and delivered some cracking games to the viewing masses (BP win v the champions, beating Glos with 14 men).

@SamRobertsComms @RuckedOver Random thought, how about a ‘Father and Son’ or ‘Dad and Lad’ XV (I appreciate some of the backline are out of position)…
Out of every player in the London Irish squad, someone please explain to me why they felt the need to use Paddy Jackson? This is a car-crash on so many levels.

This is something else 😂 Enjoy!
Did this shameless ticket promo work?

Nine of the Lions squad are set to play no part in the Test series - Jamie George, Gareth Davies, Zander Fagerson, Iain Henderson, Jonny Hill, Ronan Kelleher, Josh Navidi, Louis Rees-Zammit and Marcus Smith. #LionsRugby #LionsSA2021
Lions second Test 2009 backline also had no English either - Phillips, Jones, Fitzgerald, Roberts, O’Driscoll, Bowe, Kearney. All Welsh and Irish like 2013 third Test. #LionsRugby
A Lions Test XV based on an English-free zone behind the scrum is nothing new. Same happened for the decider against @wallabies in Sydney in 2013. Then Welsh and Irish players occupied all 7 positions: Halfpenny, Bowe, Davies, Roberts, North, Sexton, Phillips.
No Vermulean, Faf de Klerk or du Toit.
Three big omissions from that Springbok XV.

Good to see Beard, Simmonds and Russell in there, albeit on the bench.
I’m surprised Van Der Merwe and Owens have kept their places.
I would’ve thought Hamish Watson and George came into the squad somewhere.

Part of me would love to see the Lions go all out with selection and completely left-field - Russell, LRZ, Williams, Adams, Simmonds, Smith, Beirne, Watson et al. They may not win but they wouldn’t die wondering. #LionsSA2021 #LionsTour2021
If you haven’t listened to it already, the @GoodBadRugby podcast episode with @ShawseyShaw is well worth a listen. One of the best they’ve done, and the former Wasps, England and Lions man is great value.
Wow, when you put it like that…

The difficulty of Gatland's selection process is underlined by this non-starting 23:
Williams; Rees-Zammit, Harris, Aki, Adams; Farrell, Murray; Sutherland, Owens, Sinckler; Beard, Henderson; Beirne, Watson, Faletau.
#LionsRugby
One of the fascinating things about the Lions Test XV is, as demonstrated by @rpetty80’s graphic, a core group of the team haven’t played together before which is slightly unusual for a Lions tour. Suggests selection calls were very, very close. #LionsRugby #LionsSA2021
No one would’ve picked Conan, Lawes, Price and Daly to start six months ago. No one. No Murray, Faletau, Adams or George in the Test XV. Big calls from Gatland aren’t they but that’s what he does. #LionsRugby #LionsSA2021
