    @gibbonrib yeah I think Murray has been excellent this year - there's a huge, noticeable difference to Ireland with him on the field. I don't think any other "scrum half" has stood our as much as him.

    And I'm about as far from a fan of Ireland as you can get.

    Such a weird year. So much uncertainty about who'll be selected, but it seems appropriate given that we're ten weeks out and we don't even know which hemisphere the tour will be in

    Those do look like the runners and riders. Possibly Ben Youngs might get a look.

    I wonder how many will decline to tour in SA, with the covid mess over there. If the SA govt say no crowds, will it just be canned? No way SARU can afford the losses

    I was going to say, it's hard to pick a squad without knowing how many games will be played. That article suggests that the tour itinerary is not finalised either.

    My guess is that it will go ahead but a shorter tour and with a smaller squad.

    How much do you reckon the location of the tour will affect the Lions' style of play, and therefore selection? South African weather, pitches and altitude quite different to the Home Nations, surely has to have some impact
