Looking at the pre-game warmups and Marcus Smith and Jamie Osborne are in gear. Standard practice to have cover incase of injury in warmups but may surprise a few that Osborne seems to be the one who will be called upon should it be required. From a late call up to 25th man! #LionsRugby #Lions2025

All home games bar one kickoff at 5.30 or 5.15!! Only one Friday night game too!! 4 homes games before Christmas before 5 in the longer warmer days post Christmas.....not bad at all

Myself and Dad have been rugby fans all our lives. I've been lucky enough to see every tier 1 nation in person (Oz in the old Landsdowne) with the exception of South Africa. It's getting to the point where we may never get to see SA because the IRFU are pricing us out! Getting worse every year too!!

Injuries have come at the wrong time of the season for Glasgow. Started the weekend in 2nd will be 3rd by the end of it! Will need a win vs Leinster next week to finish 3rd and they will NOT be facing the Leinster academy as many may have thought a few weeks ago! Might finish as low as 4th😬 #BENvGLA

Conan playing like he read all the comments about how Faletau should've been in the Lions over him and is out to prove a point!! Been phenomenal today. For what it's worth, I would've taken Faletau as well as Conan #LEIvZEB

With a Premiership and a French team in the final that rules out an English and French ref, same for the Challenge Cup. I'm expecting 2 of Brace, Piardi and Amikashvilli to be announced as refs for those matches be interesting who gets what!! #UBBvTLS

My lions squad for June/July

Heavily dominated by Ireland and England.

Thursday's announcement can't come quick enough

I've gone with a 37 man squad, I suspect we could see a 40 man squad tbh

#Lions

A trophy is a trophy and I will always take one whereever and whenever it comes (hell we've won the Irish shield every season so far 🤪🤪)!!! But this....this is so true. It'll never be admitted publicly by the team but everyone knows this!!

Equivalent of an own goal that! Looks at the player, pumps the pass then still throws the pass.....bit of a howler that!! #SCAvLEI

A big big test of Ireland's depth now. Down so many first choice before kickoff and then losing more during the game to injury. As Andy Farrell would say 'Adversity'!!! #SCOvIRE

Horrible horrible game management by Ireland. Surely you have to know the clocks in the red there and just......take 2 steps back into touch!! Costly mistake #SCOvIRE

"shite ref this shite ref that" maybe not having a functioning lineout and shocking discipline is the issue........ just a thought though!!! #CARvMUN

I mean Leinster won but...

#LEIvULS

Garbisi's kicking from hand has been so so poor. The idea I can understand but the execution is horrific and it's killing any Toulon momentum allowing Toulouse to stay in it.

Either needs to execute the kicks better or just stop it completely!!
#RCTvTLS

72 minutes on the clock, 47-0 up, Glasgow lineout on our 22 and we March them back to the halfway line and Doris gets the turnover. All the talk about Leinster splashing the cash.....Money doesn't buy that hunger and desire. Probably my favourite moment last night!!

#LEIvGLA

All the more impressive when you consider that Ashton had 6 pool games plus knockouts, Penaud has less!!

There's great back 3 options for Ireland on the summer tour this year it's a shame it's only 2 games people will miss out!

J Osborne
T O'Brien

Munster:
