And there we go, another Dragons game over with. Good to see Ollie Griffiths pick up a MotM award, a good player in a really awful side.

Actual photos will have to wait till tomorrow, but I have some excellent photos of Tyma being sad about the Ospreys. Overall a good day of rugby (mostly because I see very little love rugby) only spoiled by a lack of Rhys Priestland.

So Warburton is tipped for Lions captain. I approve of this; the Lions will of course need a Genuine Seven to captain, as no teams can beat NZ without a Genuine Seven. Even better, fielding Tipuric in the same 15 will mean that the Lions will thrash NZ as there will be two Genuine Sevens against NZ's one.

May be worth picking a captain who has at least beaten NZ previously.

julian assflange posted:Owen Farrell! What the gently caress Farrell's a very good bet. He has a history of philanthropy and charity work, can speak well in-front of a camera, and will almost certainly start in all of the test matches and the game against The Crusaders. I don't know what Gatland see's in Warburton, but I'd back Farrell.

They're well contested positions, so it's not that surprising.

The number of really good locks is at an all-time high right now but I'm surprised Launchbury might not go, he was one of the players of the 6N for me.

Hot take: Locks that aren't going but should plan a holiday near NZ, in no particular order - Jonny Gray Richie Gray Joe Launchbury Donnacha Ryan It's mind blowing to think those guys probably won't even make it on the plane when they would start in most T1 international teams.

Let's put it this way: Joseph is rated far higher here than the other options.

It sounds like hes picking a team based on form before the 6 Nations, Joseph wasn't doing great then. It was really the Scotland match that he actually performed. I did think Launchbury was a shoe-in to at least tour though.

I can sort of understand that Joseph is smaller than a lot of the other options and it's a possibly legitimate concern that he just get run over by the ABs. Not sure that justifies not taking him at all.

His defence is rock-solid though. There's a perception he's not always motivated but I think it's pretty dubious.

I think there's easy money to be made betting on NZ winning every game by more than 10 points.

Mister Chief posted:The worst selection was Gatland himself. This is why I think it's not surprising. Gatland exists in his own world, only occasionally coincident with everyone else's. He's probably going to leave behind some really good people because he remembers them doing a stupid thing 6 months ago.

Tests 2 and 3 will be played at Eden Park. The All Blacks haven't lost there since 1994. In fact Warren Gatland was still playing back then.
