🦁 Scaz & Mo pick a Lions Test Team

With the first ever Women’s Lions tour finally on the horizon, Scaz & Mo (with the help of some Irish, Scottish & Welsh friends) put their heads together to pick a starting IV Lions side.
Without picking themselves, they come up with a team that spans the four nations - which makes their hearts hurt at the talent they’ve had to leave out.
Oh, and Elma & KDM pop up to Durham to catch up with some of the university rugby team who are part of the EmpowHER project we’re running with Vodafone.

“It’s a helmet!” YOU’RE a helmet!” 😆Love this award-winning podcast and deep friendship. Could listen to you guys talk rugby all day.

[@ianunwin]

imagine this show when these two have a had a drink, so much fun great podcast super show.

[@helenS_101]

Super happy to hear Scaz is eyeing up her return!

[@JaemanEdwards]

Overrated

[@brentsw3]

Regardless of who's picked this is going to be nothing but EPIC!! Huge for the women's game, huge for the game, period.

[@robstarr9270]

What I would’ve liked to see is a Scaz 15 and a Mo 15 and they take turns picking first for each position. That way we get double the picks + benches!!

[@JohnLagrue]

Holly Aichison most surely walk into the no 10 role. She was breathtaking in the 6 Nations and the W.XV

[@JaemanEdwards]

Agree. Who the hell is Flakes ?

[@martinboycott-brown1994]

Well, Jess Breach is a favourite, so I would pick her 😀 -- but seriously, it's an impossible task to pick only 15. You could easily pick two full teams that would be numbers one and two in the world.

[@JaemanEdwards]

😂😂😂 Deluded fool

[@staratrainingsevices313]

"Valentines Day - I'm going to be going down, ave a little love fest" You really couldn't make that stuff up! Brilliant. what a way to close the podcast.

Just saw this video yesterday so took on the challenge (do not use other platforms, so maybe wasting my time, but never mind). I am a Red Roses fan, so I will not pick any Roses, does not seem fair, so I picked 30 from Ireland, Wales and Scotland, guess your "no brainers" would replace my first pick at each position. OK here we go (btw, (sb) = substitute at the position, (I) = Ireland, (W) = Wales), (S) = Scotland)) : 1) Gwenllian Pyrs (W) (sb) Linda Gjougang (I) 2) Neve Jones (I) (sb) Kelsey Jones (W) 3) Christy Haney (I) (sb) Sisillia Tuipulotu (W) 4) Emma Wassel (S) (sb) Dorothy Wall (I) 5) Sam Monahhan (I) (sb) Georgia Evans (W) 6) Rachel Malcom (S) (sb) Aoife Wafer (I) 7) Alex Callender (W) (sb) Edel McHahon (I) 8) Evie Gallagher (S) (sb) Bethan Lewis (W) 9 ) Kiera Bevan (W) (sb) Aoibheann Reilly (I) 10) Dannah O'Brein (I) (sb) Lleucu George (W) 11) Jaz Joyce-B (W) (sb) Francesca McGhie (S) 12) Lisa Thomson (S) (sb) Enya Breem (I) 13) Emma Orr (S) (sb) Eva Higgins (I) 14) Katie Corrigan (I) (sb) Coreen Grant (S) 15) Chloe Rollie (S) (sb) Meryl Smith (S) Starting players: Wales 4, Ireland 5, Scotland 6 = 15 Possible subs : Wales 5, Ireland 7, Scotland 3 =15 Would they beat the Ferns, no idea. Beating the Ferns is more about attitude, the Ferns expect to win, show them they are wrong, the win will follow.

[@user-ey4jp4ep9q]

Appreciate how hard this is but how you can pick George over Aitcheson, Harrison , Rowland , Nelson and Jones. She's not in the same league, Wouldn't even be on the plane.

[@neill392]

Actually a touring party of 35-38 players should be the 1st pick.

[@whateleanorsaw]

Emma Orr is still only 20 (!) and did suggest on another podcast she might look to move to PWR next season (once she'd told her parents about finishing college a year early!)

[@ianarnett]

Pick your touring team of 30-35 and then it’s the form on tour, reputation that you take with you means little compared to how you are performing. There could be players come through to grab a place.

[@GoodBadRugby]

🦁 What changes would you make to their selections?

[@Thromboc]

Emma Sing at fullback

[@abrahamtomahawk]

I don't know if she's injured, but I'd at least have Jade Konkel-Roberts in the conversation (even if it's bench cover for lock/back-row)

[@JaemanEdwards]

Rhona "Lightning" Lloyd

[@Thromboc]

Scaz "You can't just pick a Gloucester-Hartpury team" ... Me "I'm not playing then" Coach is a much easier game to play. I'd go with Susie Appleby ably assisted by Scaz & Mo as assistants

[@rarbuthnotc]

Clearly an impossible task but what a really good effort ladies - but, wait! No coach! Simon Middleton perchance?

[@stevebennett6701]

Talking points, impact player or starter, rolling subs.

[@jbmboy]

45:00 for Scaz losing her composure

[@iainarthur7713]

held it together well, especially with the follow up 'hell of a tourist'

[@user-ey4jp4ep9q]

There are only one or two of these Celtic players "picked" who would get into the Red Roses squad, certainly no atarters... It may be different in 2027 but not now.

[@johnneal5616]

You are both brilliant players but that giggling just annoys me so I can't watch
