Lions

[Donny osmond]

I want to make clear I'll still be supporting the lions next year! It just may not have quite as much emotional involvement if there's no Scots involved.

[Edinburgh in Exile]

Gatland again by the looks of things. Even if we have a good 6N I expect Hogg and maybe one more token Scot will be in the squad.

If there was ever an appointment to make me support the opposition... Hopefully there are no Scots and the lions get pumped.

Ha, for fuck sake... You realise that you typed that right? And that you are an adult, and not a 4 year old right?

Gatland is the obvious choice. After all, he already knows 10 ways not to beat the All Blacks, whereas Vern and Joe only know one each. (Joe will get a couple more shots at it in November - if he isn't picked for the Lions role but wins either of those there might be some egg on face).

[Big D]

Well against the apparent normal Scottish view I'm quite looking forward to it. Then again I liked the 5 and now 6N but folk want that changed too.

Some good battles ahead. Of course NZ are massive favourites, they are in every game.

I personally wouldn't go that far, but I don't think you'll be alone.

He won't be alone. Me and Hugh Woathmeigh BFFs

It just seems weird when you know so many of our players would love to get the chance to play for the lions, I would too. I don't want to have a team full of people who aren't good enough to get in a side that get spanked anyway.

I want to see what guys like Jonny Gray do.

This MB. It is the same on the EMB Lions Board, the consideration of what the players might want is forgotten. I wouldn't think that the Lions Jersey is at all devalued in their eyes and for me they are the ones that really count. I will go on enjoying the rugby and the key contributions made by the "token" Scots!

Scots. Chucking the toys oot the pram since 843.

Are you sure about that? I've seen no evidence in the last decade that Gatland knows 10 different ways to do anything, let alone 10 different ways to play rugby, or to lose to the AB.s
Are you sure you're not thinking of 1 way, tried 10 times with no change in outcome? (Anyone got Einstein's number?)

Scots started chucking toys oot the pram Donny. I would have thought that was clear.

Also, seeing as you asked. The Vikings sacked Nates. not sure why... Nates doesn't sound very Scandinavian... Probably brought in a load of non Viking qualified lads and kick 90% of possession away.

Alright, he knows one way that he can be confident won't beat the All Blacks to a very high P Value.

The other two still only have 1 data point on their method.

It's (1 arguable date for) the foundation of the Kingdom of Scots. There were toys everywhere min.

Of all the arguable dates, I think you've Pict the most accepted one...

Nantes. The Vikings sacked Nantes in 843, not Nate. Although I dare say any guy called Nate who was in Nantes at the time may well have got sacked too, especially if he was on stag and nodded off.

Anyhoo. A missing "n" might seem a small detail, but I am actually sitting in Nantes as I type this drivel.

nnnnnnnnNice

No that was the Saracens in 859. Though it could have been a Viking false-flag action.

Ha... Christ... My post there was a fucking shambles, not only did I utterly fail to see Baz was referencing our own history, I actualy googled that weak ass joke, and still spelt it wrong. I'm giving myself an uppercut.

Still Woot, I imagine you know the spelling from being there... The first time... In 843... You see... Because... you know... You are really old n' shit... Ah har... Har har.

I know.... I'll give myself another uppercut.

Edinburgh festival has a few days left, no? You could be a player. Mind you, stand up comedy would be difficult to pull off if no one knows you're standing up.

Well considering what was voted the best joke at the festival I think EinE is on to a winner.

Back in 843 it wasn't even called Nantes, the Breton name is Naoned. The local equivalent of Settler Watch like to spray paint it on the road signs.

[whatisthejava]

Telegraph just posted their 37 man Lions team

Hogg and Wp only 2 scots

I think the Gray brothers are a little unfortunate but without 3 wins and that all important win over Wales in the 6N that may be it.

Not sure why Wales have 10 players though, they look completely feckless right now , Ireland and England are so far ahead of us and Wales

[Cameo]

In a 37 man squad I dont thatd be fair. Grays and at least one centre for starters
