peasy23 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Think Gatland just said it was a 37 man squad, and they cut it at the last minute.He definitely said that after a 4 hour meeting yesterday they finally settled on 37 players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Leaked squad Not even close. Harris, Hogg, Price, Russell and Duhan in the backs.Zander Fagerson, Sutherland and Watson in the forwards.Surprised and delighted tbh.Let the Irish, Welsh and English seethe commence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 So we got 8 in then. More than I expected. A few real shockers in there though. Johnny Hill? Bundee Aki? Only two scrum halves? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Amazed we actually got a decent representation this time. Wonder how many will get a test match outside hogg? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Can't believe they pied CJ, Ryan and Sexton. Going to be great fun telling Irish fans that there was a lot of competition for those places and you can't really argue so just get behind the boys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised Daly made the cut as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Did they get the wrong Jonny at Exeter? Not a bad selection all round however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Ringrose misses out for Aki as well, Daly was a shock. Lawes and Hill didnt seem to be on anyones radar either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Really delighted for the Scotland players, shame for Johnny and Ritchie though but a lot of good players missed out. Lol at Sexton, Ryan and Stander. Was sure they'd be there as the Irish papers and fans, a famously unbiased group, think they are much better than other players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reiterating point about Price above. I was watching a podcast with odriscoll and O'brien the other day. They must have mentioned every scrum half except price. They haven't got a funking clue outside Ireland...wankers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Good squad that, if you're James Ryan, Jonathon Davies or Jamie Ritchie, you'll be poking pins into effigies as we speak. Daley is a shock, I don't think he's been at his best for a while now. I can't remember if he's left footed or not, if he is then that might be the reason. I'm not a big fan of Bundi Aki either. He's all brawn and no brain IMHO. Lawes inclusion is understandable, as is Simmonds. Disappointed for Johnny Gray, he tackles like a demon, but his ball carrying is less impressive. My bolter is in there! Well done Chris Harris! Do not be surprised if he becomes a crucial part of the game-plan. Yours, LIONS, LIONS, LIONS! aDONis Edited May 6, 2021 by aDONisSheep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Full squad. Out of those wings Duhan looks a stick on test starter for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Full squad. Out of those wings Duhan looks a stick on test starter for me. I think Hogg, Hamish and DVM start if fit. Others have a great chance to impress... old adage, you have to be in it to win it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be Watson on one wing and Williams on the other probably. Personally would prefer DVdM but we'll wait and see 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
