Decent performance and win tonight for Wales U20's against Scotland, Osprey Harri Deaves was unlucky to get sent off, but any hand/s near the face is gonna get punished.

Poll:

Will it Snow this coming Winter

Alun the Wynner is back, I can see him making the last test.

British and Irish Lions: Watson; Rees-Zammit, Harris, Aki, Adams; Biggar, Murray (capt); Jones, Owens, Sinckler, Itoje, Henderson, Navidi, Curry, Faletau.

Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, Vunipola, Fagerson, Beard, Beirne, Simmonds, Davies, Daly.

South Africa A: Le Roux; Kolbe, Am (capt), De Allende, Nkosi; Steyn, De Klerk; Kitshoff, Dweba, Nyakane, Etzebeth, Mostert, Van Staden, Du Toit, Wiese.

Replacements (to be cut to eight players before kick-off): Marx, Oosthuizen, Koch, Janse van Rensburg, Elstadt, H Jantjies, Kriel, Willemse, Smith, E Jantjies.

Fair play to the boys in the South Africa A Team, they did so well yesterday, that I reckon 14 or 15 of them might have played their way into the Test side. That Cheslin Kolbe and Faf de Klerk look particularly promising. 👍 #LionsRugby #Rugby @distantpod #LionsRugby

Now for the Tests, here's a couple of opinions

Warburton's Lions XV:
Williams; Watson, Daly, Aki, Adams; Biggar, Murray;
Vunipola, Cowan-Dickie, Furlong, itoje, AW Jones (capt), Beirne, Curry, Faletau

Dawson's Lions XV: Liam Williams; Anthony Watson, Elliot Daly, Robbie Henshaw, Josh Adams; Dan Biggar, Conor Murray; Mako Vunipola, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Tadgh Furlong, Maro Itoje, AW Jones (capt), Tadgh Beirne, Tom Curry, Sam Simmonds.

I like Hamish Watson as open-side but I think he'll be great coming off the bench for the last quarter. And to sound like wee Jock McPloppy, I also like Finn Russell as outside half as he's got the x-factor but I think he's doubtful.

Poll:

Which kid would you give money to?

Is this the 1st test team?

Expected Lions team: Stuart Hogg; Anthony Watson, Elliot Daly, Robbie Henshaw, Duhan van der Merwe; Dan Biggar, Ali Price; Wyn Jones, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Tadhg Furlong, Alun Wyn Jones (c), Maro Itoje, Courtney Lawes, Tom Curry, Jack Conan.

Replacements: Ken Owens, Rory Sutherland, Kyle Sinckler, Tadhg Beirne, Hamish Watson, Iain Henderson, Conor Murray, Owen Farrell.

No Liam Williams, Taulupe Faletau or Josh Adams ???

Doesn’t fill me with excitement tbf.

I knew he’d pick Lawes as Gatland loves the third line out option.

I don’t know why Daly is there and I’m amazed Beirne isn’t in.

Mind you, Gatland doesn’t often get it wrong.
