Nice to see Rosetta Travel have upped their sales pitch Dave
Re: Lions Tour of NZ 2017
The fact is he needs a 30
man pool for the tests because it's 3 tests in 3 weeks and four in Four if the Maori game is considered a fourth test as it normally is in quality of players .
Every pundit has looked at the schedule and gone that's " tough"
23 players can not line out for 4 games of that intensity in 4 weeks .

In a world cup you would expect to play the same side for 3 weeks in the knock outs. It can be done.rumncoke wrote:The fact is he needs a 30

Climb up onto the top of your house and start screaming: 'stand up for the Ulstermen, stand.......'
Re: Lions Tour of NZ 2017
Rarely with success there are usually about 2-3 changes at least between the 1st week and 3rd and also changes on the bench .
plus the there are 4 weeks prior to the tests with 2 games a week and in the RWC in the pool stages there are usually 2 games against lesser opposition that does not exist in this tour every game will be intense .
The 1971 Lions didn't face teams as well prepared .

Re: Lions Tour of NZ 2017
Fair play to Youngs for withdrawing. Too often we hear about 'Great courage to go and play in the face of such difficulties.' He is quite right to be with his family at a terrible time like this. Well done, sir.

Can we claim another Ulster lion with the inclusion of Phil Morrow in Gatlands back room staff

Morrow-Saracens fitness coach arrived with them by University of Ulster, Ulster Rugby and Ireland.
Re: Lions Tour of NZ 2017
It's Ulster University now. They had a rebrand.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?
Re: Lions Tour of NZ 2017
Thanks Dave you have been helpful but I think you will find he graduated from the University of Ulster.
