Hadn't seen a thread on this - looking forward to the Tests, I've been getting in the mood watching the various Living With Lions documentaries they've got on Sky that cover previous tours; just finished the 2001 one (felt Lions could have won that tour but possibly were undone by self-harm with the controversial press articles that came out from Dawson and Healey). On to the 2005 one, where BOD got taken out of the tour by that spear tackle in the first minute of the 1st Test  |  |

I'd gladly swap a Lions test victory for England beating Argetina again next weekend. |  |

Should be winning this 3.0 .
A team ranked 8th in the world. Anything else will be considered disappointing. |  | | |

Yeah I'd forgotten the current Aussie team is not all that.
Still wouldn't take them lightly - and any Lions Test series win should be cherished! | |

Nah, Schmidt is a genius level coach who came in and master minded the All Blacks toppling Farrell in the quarter final (the tactics had his finger prints all over it). This is gonna be a battle. The main issue for Australia is that they are hilariously ill disciplined, often in games and give away stupid pens that halt their momentum |  | | |

I usually love the Lions, but have not got into this series at all.
Brumbies team looks like the test team, though personally I'd have Bealham over Furlong who barely belongs on tour based on the last two tears, and I'd move Curry to 6 to play him and Morgan in the same back row, but Faz seems determined to play Chessum or Beirne at 6. I know Farrell loves "cohesion" and will either pick the Ireland or Scotland centres, but personally I'd love to see an Aki/Jones axis, would cook. | | | |

I'm in the Tuipulotu/Ringrose camp. No way Aki is playing better than Tuipulotu.
Farrell seem determined to give Hansen as many minutes as possible to impress, but he simply isn't. Freeman is a much better choice, and he can cover fullback as well.
Therefore in a 5:3 split, you could still have Jones on the bench.
Morgan should definitely start.
Will Stuart should start ahead of Furlong (who has been unimpressive). | |

I think our squad is just about good enough to win the series but they'd be proper underdogs if it was against NZ or SA |  |
