Ollie Lawrence has ruptured his Achilles. He won’t be on the Lions Tour.

Saffex, why do you have Maro Itoje as a loosie?
Tomos Williams may not start the tests ahead of JGP but he's clearly the next best.
Itoje is a short arse at 1.95m so would play him
as a blindside in the PSDT mould with 2 tall timbers at lock
It’s a tough ask to pick a squad this year. Lots of players not really putting their hands up for selection.
Well becs, it's only the Wallabies . . .
Im hoping the Aussie’s rise to the occasion and put up a good fight - nothing worse than a one sided series
They looked to have improved somewhat on the EOYT under Schmidt - he is a great coach and it looked like he was starting to get his side to click - here’s hoping
I'll be surprised if the Lions don't win the series 3-0.
I’m just worried about it !
Might be good timing for OZ.
A big route a little while after getting a new coach and a refreshing of the side.
One win would be nice for them...but 3-0 will be big picture bad.
If the Irsih play as bad as they did today against Italy then their should be no Irish players in the Lions squad. that was real supershit on their part, .
Mike how the fuck can one game turn a bunch of proven stars into unworthy players - come now man, get a grip
I think it’s difficult this year as some nailed on certs didn’t have good 6 Nations.
I’m sure he’ll take loads of the Irish team though…
I’d also be taking most of the Irish side
You guys sound Drunk or on the Devil’s Dandruff :) The Irish is a bit overrated but good..
Would that be the side that has beaten the Boks 3 out of their past 4 clashes - one of the best Bok sides ever?
Good but overrated - fuck me some people know fuck all about the game
I said they good, but sometimes hyped up to much….exactly like you hype up yourself, but in truth you a big poes face …..:):) Lmao
Hyped myself? Fuck off
I just know an ignorant rugby follower when I hear one and that’s you
The Irish side has been brilliant at times to the point of being ranked number 1
Only an ignorant rugby noob would call them over hyped
You dumb twats have a short memory - a dip in form thanks to losing their coach, tighthead and Sexton and suddenly they are over hyped - fuck off
