Re: Lions Tour 2021 South Africa.
England came 5th in the recent 6 Nations- Yet have more players selected than any other.... Maybe Gatland can get a better performance from them than that "'Clown" Jones.
Re: Lions Tour 2021 South Africa.
Not that I'm sticking up for the English players Brian but Gatland will be picking them on club form as well as international performances.
Toonie is Gatland's attack coach and Steve Tandy defence coach so I can see all 8 Scots featuring in the test team at some point.

Might not need to drop them, looks like they both could be cited, VDM for a tip tackle and Hoggy for biting.

Close but no cigar for the lions, a 19-16 win for the Springboks gives them a 2-1 series win.
