No ROG that's why (joke)! Played well in the HK semi. First time in an age :D

I'd quite honestly prefer ROG to Farrell!! In all fairness, I think Farrell is a star for the future - he needs a couple more seasons IMHO. The past 6N showed his vulnerabilities and a few "issues" with temperament.

Certainly don't have a problem with Sexton's selection, but where's the cover.....?

With regards to Johnny "one kick", he was apparently approached by Gatland...

From Wales Online

"British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland has revealed World Cup-winner Jonny Wilkinson turned down the chance to tour Australia this summer.

The Toulon outside-half was contacted by Gatland in recent days but informed the Kiwi coach he was not physically up to the task and would not be available for the start of the tour due to club commitments."

Lions Tour!
Is anyone planning on going to Australia for the tour? I really wish I was! Although I've got a ticket for the Hong Kong match which should be good!

Likely to be heading down in the first week of June for work, so fingers crossed I may be able to take in one of the provincial/mid-week games whilst there - zero hope of a test match ticket, but will certainly soak up the atmosphere!! :dance: :dance: :clap: :clap: :dance: :dance:

Had access to tickets for Hong Kong, but unfortunately can't make it across.... :cry:
