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.

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 ...
