GUTTED!:-( :-( :-(
In fact gutted is not strong enough a word!

LIONS CAPTAIN ALUN-WYN JONES' IS INJURED OUT!

The TROJAN that is AWJ has finally been felled!
Wales' Alun-Wyn Jones sustained a DISLOCATED shoulder soon after the beginning of yesterday's Warm Up Game v Japan at Murrayfield, which has ended his Captaincy.
Also, because of Covid rules, he could not (as Sam Warburton did in the past) travel as a non-playing Captain

This was Big Al's 4th Lions Campaign and at 35 years of age was his last. This is so sad :-(


*CONOR MURRAY (Ireland) IS TO TAKE OVER THE CAPTAINCY*

This is the world-class Scrum Half's 3rd Lions Tour.
32 year old Conor has beaten both OWEN FARRELL (England) and STUART HOGG (Scotland) to this honour.

WARREN GATLAND...
"Conor is an outstanding rugby player and is held in the highest regard with both the players and coaches. As a three-time Lions tourist, he knows what will be required as captain and I am certain he will lead the squad with excellence. He will also be well supported by an experienced leadership group."



ALSO INJURED OUT ~ JUSTIN TIPURIC (Wales) :-(

Justin "Tips" Tipuric, who was a last minute replacement for the concussed HAMISH WATSON (Scotland) in the Starting XV yesterday, also sustained a shoulder injury. The injury has also ended his Lions Tour 2021.


DRAFTED INTO THE SQUAD
ADAM BEARD (Wales)
JOSH NAVIDI (Wales)

Commiseration to the Wales Footballers <3

Oh well, only England left in, but only until Tuesday I suspect

he wasn't offside

THEY'VE AWARDED THE GOAL :-0

WALES 0 ~ DENMARK 4

A goal

no he won't Jem, he took one for the team. There was a deliberate foul - that's trouble and from behind also trouble - he stopped the Danes getting up to the goal area.

Another goal but offside

NEARLY A 4th GOAL ..... BUT OFFSIDE BEING CHECKED

oh dear stupid tackle from behind

That's a shame. Wilson must feel awful :-(
