Ah righto.
Yeah I'd erased the Fiji game from my memory. Sadly World Rugby didn't.

The word is Lynagh is going to play 10 on Saturday
I like it. Exciting.
First game in six weeks and first ever start in a Test match?
I really like Lynagh, but I don't think this is the time to be giving him that 10 jersey.

It's him or Donaldson. Edmed would have to be the world's best salesman to convince Schmidt that NPC rugby is the same as the Lions.
@antipodean would definitely be starting Donaldson with either Lynagh or O'Connor on the bench. No need for Edmed.

@Catogrande duh. Clive.
You're right. There's no substitute for experience.
True.
Saw on socials somewhere that Mack Hansen is expected to miss the 1st Test with a foot injury picked up against AUNZ.

Upvote on behalf of South Africa Scotlands best winger.
Rumoured Lions XV for the first test.
- Genge - Eng
- Sheehan - Ire
- Furlong - Ire
- Itoje (c) - Eng
- McCartney - Ire
- Beirne - Ire
- Curry - Eng
- Conan - Ire
- Gibson-Park - Ire
- Russell - Sco
- Lowe - Ire
- Tuipolotu - Sco
- Jones - Sco
- Freeman - Eng
- Keenan - Ire
Bench: Chessum - Eng, Earl - Eng, Marcus Smith - Eng, Aki - Ire. And I assume four others.
No Welsh player in the Lions 23 for a Test for the first time ever. No Farrell, no Pollock, no Van Der Flier.
Looks like one of the England or Welsh players or their agent has been leaking to the press.
My guess is that the other four players on the bench are: Porter - Ire, Kelleher - Ire, Stuart - Eng and Mitchell - Eng.
