Re: Lions Squad - Who's In?
Wales isn't going to have much representation, based on today, and can't see them looking much better against SA next weekend. The front row did well today, but I think the only players that stand out are Reffell and Jac Morgan - and as noted the backrow is going to be a tough choice for the select...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Think we get to keep them if we beat them this time. I forgot about the 2022 NZ match - it was the tour to NZ that was cancelled in 2020 that was maybe in my mind? 2022 was Hogg getting tackled by Barrett in the last few minutes and then them scoring (a penalty?) at the other end to take the match ...
