Didn't Hansen also have his arm in a sling last week?

Would be awful for the players to miss out at this stage.

From a Lions POV they play in positions with good depth but hopefully they make it.

Doris out for four to six months. Do we reckon another no8 will be added?

It's pretty much a certainty that 4-5 players will be hors de combat before they even fly out.

Hope so, Conan the only No8 in the squad
Tom Willis please. Has been outstanding all season

Yeah, I always feel more sorry for the guys who don't even make it to the kit out day to get all the gear or make it to the tour.

To be fair I always feel sorry for the injured ones. Especially Doddie and Simon Taylor. I thought Taylor was going to be the surprise package on that Australian tour.

Yes , some poor sod, and it's usually someone who is more likely than not to make the Test squad (starter or bench) always picks up some tour ending injury.

Doddies reaction was heart breaking. The way he got injurednwas awful too.

Injuries are part of the game and accepted as such, but that was just "Fuck up a Lion" thuggery.

If Doddie hadn't had the terrible illness many in rugby would still know of him - those who saw him play and those who saw him as a pundit in those gloriously garish tartan suits.

I have no idea of the name of that nonentity who assaulted Doddie, and I've no wish to know it either.
