When do the Blues name their side? Can't be Thursday.
By the way, our mate Stephen Jones mentions in passing in his write up of the Baabaas game that he watched the Saders play the Highlanders and reckons both would be easily accounted for by Saracens.
What must it be like to live in a delusion bubble?

Itoje is a behemoth of a person.
Interesting. I was always under the impression he was a bit small for an international lock

This really is the best thing about a Lions tour. Putting these jokers back in their box.

Thing is though. These guys aren't bad players and they look really good playing in their own comps which is what tricks everyone.
Eddie Jones at least recognises this and has worked to create something good within their limitations that can at least compete and disrupt the faster speed of thought from the faster SH teams.
The Walrus is deluded because he thinks the team cohesion of Saracens is enough to make up for the fact that the few errors they make aren't ruthlessly exposed by their opposition as they would be against any of the NZ super teams including the Blues. -

Is he tall enough to be a Hurricanes flanker?

Hard to say. I'd have to size him in up in a cafe or restaurant to be sure.

I hear that around breakfast is a good time as you get shorter as the day goes on.

Clickbait!!
I stand by my right to be outraged!
Some stretching of points I'd have thought. Some banter from the locals makes us arrogant?

I thought the lions fans were mostly awesome in 2005 the only time I had someone moan to me was a guy I had a beer with after the mid weeker vs Wellington who was understandably gutted about Spiro writing a column about how arrogant lions fans were and some drivel that sounded more like the worst of the fans at Twickenham. When I asked him about Stephen Jones diatribes he thought I meant the welsh first five, got a blank look when I said I meant the columnist.
-
Yeah we met a bunch in 2005, all top blokes, rugby fans for sure, met a heap on Saturday night too, great chat, bit of banter, know their stuff. Except one guy, was drunk, abusing people, almost got in a fight, so I think I'll judge all lions fans by him...drunk idiots, just soccer hooligans in different jersies!

That last bit sums up his importance over here

Yeah, Spiro is the same here.

@taniwharugby remember that clown that was promoting the barmy army? I walked past his marquee that he set up on the Wellington waterfront, it was empty apart from him and the barstaff .He must have lost a shitload on that hahaha.
