RugbyRebels

Ok, so the Woodward inspired anthem was shunt but let's all unite for the common good. Let us get beyond our parochial views, where it's impossible to criticise Jonathan Davies for dropping a ball without Numbers claiming you hate all Welshmen. Where some Scottish fans wish the Lions to fail solely because their boys can't go to HQ with getting a beating and subsequently drop out of contention for the Lions squad. Where EW would still pick Henshaw for the test team even though he's spent an entire tour running into brick walls. Where every time a non-English lock forces a turnover an English fan claims Launchbury would've forced two turnovers simultaneously.

Let's unite in this common cause:

I think you forgot to add Stephen Ferris as the ultimate in bias. It easily beats EW in the fact that you should get a player in not for the fact he plays for Ulster and Ireland but that he is also a mate. Laughably Ferris is supposed to be professional in his role for sky. But when he went into his Rory Best monologue after the first test will take some beating. I kinda hoped sky would drop in the Simon Bates our tune music as Ferris warbled on about young Rory.

Firstly abolishing the Lions seems a much easier route to go, secondly I'd have to go with Bangers & Mash over Bodger and Badger

I hadn't seen this, but I remember Ferris doing some incredibly childish and unprofessional punditry a little while back when Ulster lost a game to Glasgow. I'd probably be bitter too though if I were that good a player and forced to retire.

Poor old Bodger died the other day. I'm guessing therefore that Badger may be indesposed for a while.

He could play as the Lions creative element, it couldn't be much deader

Good player and seems a decent bloke but his punditry is shite. He was asked about improvements for the second game and just launched into Rory Best fandom for ages with a dopey grin on his face. Best has his plus points but how you could watch that 1st test and tour so far and make him go from 3rd hooker to 1st is insane. As the monologue continued Geech and Fitzpatrick shuffled with embarrassment and then the presenter thanked him for being Best's fan club.

Ferris was quality.
Seeing as everyone else has their pet favourite Lions it seems harsh to have a dig at him about Rory.......who is also quality.

right up my street

Jamie George has played well. Gats can pick a frontrow.
Not so much a tight 5 or 8 man.
