To start warming up for it why not tell us who your starting XV (+bench) would be:

George North is fit, so he goes on the wing and Simon Zebo drops to the bench! Rob Kearney drops out

I'll certainly make an effort and shower before the game on Sat........
What's involved in the 'clean up'?

[studleyken]

Everything from painting the boxes to gardening. Anything that makes it look loved.

Pretty close londonexile! Maitland can cover full-back as well as wing so got the nod ahead of Kearney and Zebo but surprised that O'Brien wasn't on the bench in place of Lydiate, given he can cover the entire back-row. Let's hope the front 5 have been saving themselves for the Tests and really front up.

Will, having watched the match on Saturday I thought it was fairly straight forward.

I would have included Zebo on the bench because I think his maverick, carefree style would have benefitted the Lions in the last 20 mins of the match. But equally I can see why Maitland is an important inclusion.
