• Lions cheat-sheet: the Wallaby game plan

  
  — Authority:
  The initial 25 man training squad was announced on the weekend and there are disappointed and angry fans all over the internet. On the plus side now we can get into the nitty gritty of pulling apart Robbie Deans’ squad. To be sure there are six more players to be added to the squad but [...]

• King George you will be missed

  
  — Authority:
  I feel robbed, yes robbed, of the chance to watch one of my favourite all time rugby players don the Wallaby jersey one last time. George Smith’s knee injury has left me gutted, god knows how he must be feeling. Yes he has been there, done that, earning player of the series honours when the [...]

• Wallaby six-pack: who gets the call-up on June 11?

  
  — Authority:
  Many keyboards have been pounded over the last few days, as the reaction to Robbie Deans’ initial 25-man Wallaby squad continues to grow both in volume and in the level of criticism. Overall, aside from the lack of Quade Cooper and a second scrumhalf, there’s actually not that much conjecture over most of the 25 ...

• Adam Ashley-Cooper: the man for this moment

  
  — Authority:
  A quick glance around The Roar and you would think our hopes against the British Lions systematically come down to the trials of the same few headline players: Will Genia, Quade Cooper, Israel Folau and James O’Connor. They are unpredictable both on and off the field, they are interesting personalities, they are ...

• SPIRO’s Lions Diary: Deans goes for experience, plus Folau

  
  — Authority:
  The first question at the media conference where the first Wallaby squad of 25 for the Tests against the British and Irish Lions was announced got to the heart of the matter. “Robbie, there’s no Quade Cooper in the squad?” one of the journalists asked. And Robbie Deans got to the heart of the matter, too, in ...

• Wallabies 25-man Lions squad: analysis

  
  — Authority:
  Robbie Deans has given us an indication of his core Wallabies to play the Lions in the upcoming tour, and after careful study, here are five major points of discussion about the squad. I don’t want to ignore Super Rugby and subsequently haven’t written a whole lot about the Lions tour yet. But a squad [...]

• Blast from the past – Waratahs and Lions 2001

  
  — Authority:
  It’s very entertaining going over some of the more notable Lions Tour games in the past and the Lions against NSW Waratahs in 2001 is one of the famous ones. As the Lions are coming and we still don’t know much more about what that means I thought I’d help build anticipation by sharing some [...]

• Former All Blacks join Barbarians squad

  
  — Authority:
  Former All Blacks wing Joe Rokocoko has been included in the Barbarians side to play England and the British and Irish Lions. Rokocoko joins former international team-mate Nick Evans in the invitation team for both games, against England at Twickenham on May 26 and the Lions in Hong Kong in June. The Hong Kong match ...

• Combinations worth more than the sum of their parts

  
  — Authority:
  Everyone seems to be having their say on the likely make-up of the Wallabies side to face the British and Irish Lions, and even though I usually steer away from these hypothetical topics, the point has been reached where it’s worth offering the two cents. You would’ve heard and read me saying in recent weeks [...]

• The Warren Gatland approach

  
  — Authority:
  So, how’s he going to do it? How’s Warren Gatland planning to win the Lions Test Series in Australia? Well, first, lets assume that no one gets to lead the Lions without an extensive and intimate knowledge of the game, a comprehensive knowledge of the player selection pool and a comprehensive knowledge of the ...

• Wallaby backs settled for first Test

  
  — Authority:
  Finally, we have some idea as to who will make up the Wallabies backline against the Lions! Now there is no more confusion as to who will be there, just where they will play. Although no doubt some Roarers will continue to pile on hundreds more comments on top of the several thousand that have [...]

• Lions selectors "ageist" ?

  
  Total Flanker — Authority: 130
  Lions forwards coach Graham Rowntree admitted today that the toughest call made by Warren Gatland and his selection team was to leave burly backrow forward, Total Flanker, out of the British & Irish Lions squad to tour Australia this summer. "It was a close run thing," admitted Rowntree, "but we just felt that ...

• Reaction

  
  Total Flanker — Authority: 130
  So its done - Lions tour squad announced. Initial thoughts: 1. Perhaps not quite as unbalanced as anticipated but Scotland have been well and truly shafted. Laidlaw, Grant, Beattie, Brown and possibly Visser all had a decent shout. 2. Gatland has made no exceptions for French-based players. At least hes consistent. ...

• Everybody’s doing it…

  
  Total Flanker — Authority: 130
  …making predictions about the composition of Warren Gatland’s Lions squad (announced tomorrow), that is. I’m not sure I can be arsed. What seems certain is that Wales will be over-represented. It was always going to be the case, given the agenda of who is in charge, but the Welsh victory over England at ...
