Agreed. Can't believe Armitage wasn't selected.

Apparently Halfpenny got selected ahead of him because he's versatile and can kick goals. Not that either are much use now sat on the plane home...

Leigh Halfpenny injured, and out of the Lions tour. What a waste of time that was.

Ryan Jones declared unfit and out of the tour, 2 days after arriving. What's he done, injured himself on the plane?

Just seen the highlights of USA vs Argentina A.
The Argies can play a bit and tried some adventurous stuff. Maybe it was because of the quality of the opposition, either way it was good to watch.

Looks like American football players who dont make the grade are moving into union. Some of the passes were so forward Dan Marino himself would have been proud.

How many were on? Looked like a very small crowd.

If I were the ARU I'd be more worried about the crowd.
Craig Gower was in the Italian XV along with the equally Italian sounding Kaine Robertson, who scored the visitors' only try and Luke McLean, who kicked the solitary penalty for the visitors.

You've only just realised?
How good is that young lad? Is he good enough to play league or just another Matt Giteau?
