Part of me hopes the Lions get dicked now lolleighton said:Gatland has lost the plot. Some messsed up decisions for me. I would of had O Driscoll in at centre with Jamie Roberts. BOD may well not be firing but he offers a hell of a lot on the pitch both defensively , leadership , and can do a bit of magic. I was all for Roberts replacing Davies. Think this is a huge fuck up by Gatland.
The number 9 holy fuck Mike Phillips had a nightmare in the first game with slow ball time and time again and his link up with Sexton was too slow. I would of had the same 9 and 10 from the last game.
Those 2 decisions for me has me thinking to myself what the fuck is going on here. I dont mind the back of the scrum or the front row but there is some really what the fuck moments.
I honestly think with these fuck ups that the Aussies are now favourites to win the series. We are lacking real leadership. No Warburton , O Connell and O Driscoll 3 leaders of men and none in the match squad due to injury and non selection.
I hope the Lions in future just get rid of National coach as a Lions coach in future. Who remembers Clive Woodwards selection when he was Lions coach a few seasons ago this Gatland selection has the same feel to it.
In saying that I wouldnt mind seeing Woodward getting the Lions tour next time around.
Sorry I don't agree mate, Im English through and through but aside from not including BOD I have no truck with his team, I believe he has picked a strategic team to do a specific job so he has to have the benefit of the doubt, to say you hope the Lions get dicked because he has picked 10 very good Welsh players is ridiculous, I would cheer the Lions no matter what as would any Lions fan!!!!
