Still on course, why is everyone so negative, come on Lions with Gatland's best side they must have a great chance to deliver
I don't think they have a chance great or otherwise.
I applaud your glass half full attitude but I fear your daffodil tinted glasses are blinding you to the magnitude of the task in hand. BILs have won
one Test Series in New Zealand ever - in 1971. During the intervening time we've won one Test in 1977 and one in 1993. We've been beaten 0-4 in 1983 and 0-3 in 2005.
I hope your optimism is reflected in a Series (or even a Test) win but I can't see it.
Highlanders despite the narrow victory had 7 out. 2x Smiths are with the ABs. 4 are with the Maori side this weekend and one's got injured.
I don't think WG left anyone at home he should have taken (Launchberry maybe) and despite the good set piece and defence against the Crusaders I don't think we (ever) have enough to go to NZ and turn the ABs over twice to get a series win.
