    Pleased to see Jared Payne in the team, I'm sure he'll receive a hearty northland welcome when he takes the field.

    Getting fucking excited for this game, seems a lot more real now that the Lions have named their team.

    That's a pretty strong side for the Lions. Hopefully the conditions are good.

    Can't believe Jonah Lowe hasn't been named in the starting line-up. 👎🏽

    @mariner4life Except that this isn't the Canes but a group of provincial players.

    Not sure how much ball they'll see but the back 3 that are starting plus the 2 off the bench are all dangerous ball in hand.

    @KiwiMurph given the pack that the Lions have named, i would say nothing that isn't kicked to them. They are in for a long night

    There are 4 locks in that pack so they should have enough tall timber to win some lineout ball.

    I love that McMillan has effectively picked four locks. Boshier isn't a small lad either so the pack has some size to it.

    @Bovidae snap

    I wouldn't be surprised if the game isn't as one sided up front as expected and the Lions willl need their heavy cavalry off the bench before they really get dominance in the forward battles.

    @mariner4life Agreed. Mitre 10 Cup guys against Lions that need a run and have been in camp. The Barbarians won't get much ball to play with. Lions should embarrassed if they don't put on 50.

    not all of them are even starters for thier MItre Cup team either are they?

    Huge occasion for the guys, while the Baabaas wont give an inch and will smash everything, there is a big step up in class to that Lions team.

    I remember being in Rotovegas in 2005 and the first 10 mins in that game where the Lions started so strongly. I would imagine Gatland wants this Lions team to hit the ground running.

    @Bovidae I'm guessing the Lions are hoping history doesn't repeat and Faletau walks off fit.
