😷 Earls is crap. Shouldn't be near the squad. I'd have any of the Scottish wingers above him.
If Earls can supply more viewing highlights like that awesome fend off by Hosea Gear then he should be a locked in pick.
That was awesome. -

That was awesome.I suspect the NZ player would be carded for that today.

Only if it was done in Ireland and the big screen showed it endlessly.
Fends are an awesome part of the game

I thought it was all released yesterday? More leaks (or is that leeks?) from the Lions camp than the Whitehouse it seems.
Very surprised Gatland hasn't named more than one captain. He is basically nailing the 7 jersey in place.

I was only joking about Gatland selecting Jamie Roberts, but some media are now reporting that he hasn't been included.
Leaks I read were that JJ and JR are left behind with Ben Teo being included.
I haven't seen anything from Teo that ranks him higher than an average Super Rugby level midfielder.

Predictable squad.
A mercenary and only one Scot.
