I think that lions team is a bit of a backward step but we will see on Saturday. Hopefully I will be wrong.

I’ve been critical of Gatland and ‘Warrenball’ in the past
But he really has picked a backline that can score 3 or 4 tries in the 2nd test

Loving thoughts on #LionsNZ2017: Farrell and Sexton will definitely improve attack. But you have to defend AB’s backline, too. Tough ask!

Like the @lionsofficial team! No Tipuric though in the 23!? Again! Baffles me!

Very attack minded @lionsofficial team. Hope they play brave & get Watson & Williams in the game.

Penny for Peter O’Mahony’s thoughts!?

Pack looks good, I have a funny feeling Sonny Bill might have a field day.

Confusing Lions selection. Faith kept in some for past form, new combinations, and thought Te’o was outstanding. it all works

Shocked by Ben T'eo's exclusion in the XV feeling sorry for POM, happy for Maro, no room for Lawes to start either! https://t.co/ZgkybCLHGu
