Darcy Graham, Ewan Ashman and Rory Sutherland called into the squad

Have they played a test match yet?

I signed up for Now TV there to watch the next few Lions games at home.

€20 a month for all 12 Sky Sports channels.

That sounds like savage value, or am I missing something?

Do you mean besides a streamer?

I read that as steamer first and thought it was Jimmy posting

Sutherland and Ashman are there to scrum against the starters. Darcy Graham will probably get some time againt the Pasifika mid week

 

[MerchantOfEnnis]

Myself and Mrs. MoE are having a competition.

Name the 23 for Saturday. Winner gets fuck all but its a bit of fun.

Anyone have a 23 that they want to throw into the mix?

2 and 10 are easy. The rest is a banana skin. I think Owen will get 23.

Ignore the wingers and centers numbers, I never pay attention to those!

Id expect a few changes based on fitness by the 2nd Test.
Ringrose and Kinghorn in.

And for tactics, Lowe, Pollock, maybe even White (or if they start this Saturday they could flip to being dropped for Saturday week)

Edit - you asked for 23
