The Western Force announcer here, going through the Lions 23...
"Our former Aussie, Mack Hansen!"
"Another former Aussie, Sione Tuipulotu!"
"It's the Kiwi, now Irishman, James Lowe!"
"The former SA schoolboy, now Scotsman, Pierre Schoeman"

- Someone has just flown a Palestinian flag over Twickenham, attached to a drone.
00:00 - Cardiff prepares for pandemonium on Saturday... 🏴 275,000 expected in town 🍀 50 flights from Dublin 🏴 11,500 pints to be sold in Walkabout 🍀 Wetherspoons aiming to take £100k 🏴 Hotels for £624 🍀 Tickets £1,200 🏆 Two 6N trophies Details:
- Comment: It is our job as journalists to make sense of these things, but honestly, I just can’t today. And I think, actually having spoken to a few people today, I know, I’m not alone. What a total minefield of contradictions rugby has become @TimesSport thetimes.co.uk/article/fc4011…
- Joe Marler for his tackle tickle of AWJ: 10 week ban Mohamed Haouas for his punch to Jamie Ritchie’s face: 3 week ban I understand the need to make a statement but sometimes #Rugby isn’t half unfathomable. #SixNations #England
- Another little titbit from today. The reason why Kevin Sinfield wasn’t with Steve Borthwick at Twickenham being unveiled as the new 🏴 defence coach was because he attended Doddie Weir’s memorial service in Scotland. #England have an inspirational new lightning rod, for sure.
- No one beats Wales 19 times in a row 💪🏻
- I've watched this about 25 times now and I still don't know how Tom Curry has nicked the ball from Dupont. Ridic! @TimesSport piece on Curry in the works.
GIF - 🏴 Salary cap investigations, ring-fencing arguments 🏴 Regional civil war mud-slinging 🏴 1 million injuries 🍀 National crisis of confidence 🇫🇷 Club v country fights, can’t find a team, National side chaotic 🇮🇹 Can’t win 🌍 Mess over revamping entire sport 🏉... 🤯
- Completely and utterly agree with Pat Lam and Rob Baxter. Once European Cup weekends are postponed they must bring forward two rounds of #PremRugby and crack on when they can. Frees up weeks down the line, and clubs able to use Test players. No brainer. #Rugby needs to flexible.
