Summary

It was a dominant performance by the Lions against the AUNZ invitational side in their last match before the first Test – where they confidently beat their opponents 48-0. Danny joins Ashy and Sara on the pod and today was all about which player had done enough to get picked for the first Test in seven days time.

Ashy and Danny both praised the Lions win – and this has made team selection for Andy Farrell much harder. They also get the latest on Luke Cowan-Dickie’s injury and confirm that Garry Ringrose will miss the first Test.

As always they pick their starting 15 for next Saturday – and give a special mention to Owen Farrell who came off the bench in his fourth Lions tour.
