I'm due to go see the Tahs this weekend v The Lions but I woke up this morning feeling a cold coming on. If it's COVID and I miss the game I won't be heartbroken
Covid?
We are not still at that nonsense are we?
COVID. RSV. Influenza. A bad cold.
Don't know what it is yet but I'm crook as a fucking dog, can barely speak, and missing the weekend's festivities. Not at all pleased about it.

@Jet we are when it knocks you on your arse for 3 days. It's a right fluffybunny.
Yep and only someone who is a bit moronic goes to public stuff and spreads it around. Same with flu keep your bugs at home. We have had 3-4 the old fellas at Golf club just got over covid ,knocked the shit out of them for first 4-5 days. Real crook.

I disagree but probably best not to derail the thread.
We are all entrenched in our positions after the last few years.

You're the one who derailed by ranting at NTA.
Yelling at hypochondriacs is good for them. This is actual medical advice.

Owen Farrell set to join the Lions tour. Elliott Daly probably out with a broken arm.
Andy Farrell tells fans to get over ‘nonsense’ negativity around selecting son Owen

Poor Daly
Don't need Owen sorry

Disappointing to see Daly out. He’s a good player.
Not really a like for like replacement with Farrell
@brodean Morgan should start the first test. He’s their best number 7 by far.
-
Owen Farrell. what for? He doesn't cover 12 anymore, he has had an awful season, he'd be 4th choice 10 for me. Can only assume he's there to improve the training ethic, that will please Finn Russell.
Feel sorry for Daly, he was flying and even i've had to eat some humble pie about him, sad way to end a remarkable Lions career.
From what I've seen on tour so far, Beirne shouldn't be near the test XV and I can't work out what people are seeing in JVDF that makes them think he deserves his place. Morgan played well yesterday, in which case you need a big 8 and a proper 6, but I've a feeling Chessum will end up there.
-
Morgan's a top player but I think Farrell will opt for what he knows best which is Jvdf.

That would be a mistake given their respective games on tour thus far.
Beirne looks like a liability; penalised off the park.
Curry was practically invisible.

I agree with what you say here but Jvdf is still a top player and he's played well so far. There's nothing much between him and Morgan.
Curry is well past it.

Yeah, Farrell is a bizarre replacement, can't really see a place in the squad for him, so maybe it's about leadership?
