    Hopefully a few more recent BaaBaas get added to this list. I'd like to see Beehre, Sotutu & JRK involved

    Just read that Wales is the only country of the four to have a player involved in every Lions Test match

    That record could be gone in a couple of weeks if Jac Morgan doesn’t play out of his skin this Wednesday and any other matches prior to the 1st Test

    Interesting. I'd heard that no one from outside Super Rugby was going to get selected.

    @Dan54 is that insider info, or just going off the various outlets that reported he couldn't play because he had a broken hand?

    No insider info mate, just what I read about them trying to sort out insurance etc.

    Taniela Tupou released by Wallabies to be available for the Waratahs fixture. An opportunity to find some form instead of sitting out the Fiji warm up?

    Someone in the media needs to put disrespect on Laumape’s name a few days out from that match just to get him fired up.

    Lucky to even get one.

    Contrast that with the high flying foreign mercenaries proud Scotsmen in the team. Night and Day.

    That's 5.4 million and 5.2 million people he's tasted! If only he was that busy on the field...

    I think professionalism is making the Lions better and better.
    The old disadvantage for the home nations of the Lions having to bring players together is being eroded by the fact they are full time professionals.

    They mix at club level. They are used to moving between systems, and now thie talent levels are coming to the fore.
