Warren Gatland is taking critism over his select for the tour.
Former Scottish players Jim Telfer and Ian McLauchlan have been angry by just picking two Scots in the squad.
But I can't see how Sam Warbuton can justify being the captain.
He's not even the best in his position in the Welsh team.
I think that this could be the best Lions team to NZ for quite some time & really hope they can push the All Blacks all the way it is a pity that Vunipola pulled out as I think he could have been the lynch pin to any success but Eddie Jones said it was a brave decision he made
The All Blacks are a very tough proposition especially when they are on home soil. The Lions need to be absolutely on top of their game for every minute. The All Blacks tend to expose teams in the last 20 minutes of matches as the opposition get stretched. A mighty big ask for the Lions.
The first against New Zealand Provincial Barbarians in the ten matches tour sees Sam Warburton captaining the team and has an all Welsh back row with Jonny Sexton at 10.
They play in Whangarei on Saturday
Half time score against the NZ Provincial Barbarians is 7-3 for the Barbarians.
It's been a poor performance from the Lions so far.
Lions ended up winning the match 13-7. Work in progress
not to bad a start but hopefully they can only improve on that in next match but
This mornings tour match is against the Blues.
The Lions have brought in the changes, with another Welsh player, Ken Owens, as captain.
The Lions were well beaten by the Blues. 22-16
It was another poor performance
Today's match is against the Crusaders from Christchurch. Current score 0-0 after 9mins
