At some point recently, I passed 5k posts here after just under 15 years, roughly 1/day. Used to be a prolific FB user but this is more interesting, even if it has got a bit weird lately. Follow back for more politics, economics, church and a lot of rugby chat.

What do you say @jimhamilton4, how immense would this be? RASSIE as Lions head coach in 4 years - imagine the chaos!.

This tour has shown that conclusively that the Lions coach shouldn’t be the head coach of one of the 4 nations. So my hot take is that the head coach for NZ in 2029 should be…. RASSIE ERASMUS. Just imagine the chaos, the banter, how fired up that team will be. It makes sense.

Tour conclusion: Farrell is nowhere as good a coach as anyone thinks he is and the Lions should appoint a head coach from outside the home nations. He played favourites throughout and his strategy was dull dull dull.

If we take Farrell at face value and Sione wasn’t fit, why on earth did he not start Jr at 12 with Jones at 13? Aki has been worse than useless. 5-3 bench with Marcus Smith and VDM would’ve made a lot more sense.

Wallabies in control, Lions pack on reverse roller skates, Ryan utterly anonymous. Remind me why Cummings isn’t in the 23? Oh yes, he’s not Irish.

To be fair, he seems to know his stuff and was as bamboozled by Chris Cadden’s booking as everyone else. Ref seems well out of his depth.

First time I’ve actually gone and paid for a PPV game of my team and it feels like the right night for it. Cannae wait for this. ‘Mon the Cabbage.

Someone missed Scotland ripping the Wallabies apart last year, didn’t they?.

Hypothetically speaking, if this Lions side was just made up of English, Welsh and Scottish players, the Wallabies win 3-0.

When the post mortem of this tour is done, I hope that many will speak of the great injustice that is James Ryan having two test caps and Scott Cummings none. The latter has been clearly the better player on tour and now the former is starting the third test!.

Absolutely honest and selfless from Ringrose, no doubt about it, but would expect nothing less from a modern pro. However, AF was prepared to drop Jones as well as Tuipulotu? Did he not notice that the Lions massive drop off in the 1st Test was when he took Finn and Sioje off?.

Garry Ringrose was told he was starting the Lions' second Test. But right at the end of training today, he told Andy Farrell he didn't feel right. Very honest and selfless from Ringrose to rule himself out of his Lions Test debut. Full story here:

Final confirmation that AF is just playing his favourites. Ryan over Cummings 🤦‍♂️ Disrupting the Scottish triumvirate midfield 🤯Bunch of nonsense. How Lowe remains in the team is a mystery.

They’ve done this all afternoon and were even showing it before he had started his round. Not done it for any other golfer.

Upgraded to @SkySports for the Lions tour and have enjoyed the golf this week, but the repeated breach of scoring protocol today has driven me bananas. McIlroy should be showing under MacIntyre and Schauffele as his round is still in progress.

Huwipulotu playing excellently, as everyone in Scotland expected. Finn playing Finn, and not just because he’s playing with JGP (as opined by Dan Biggar).

Notice that @lionsofficial haven’t confirmed the call up being talked about. Maybe they’ve realised replacing a wing/centre/FB w/ an aging 10/12 who hasn’t played international rugby since the World Cup, hasn’t played at all in 2 months and stinks of nepotism isn’t a great idea.

He’s not a scrum half but I’m quite pleased with that. But I’d still like a scrum half please.
