Looks like the mind games are starting in earnest on the Lions tour with the South Africa A team beating the Lions in the mid week game and Rassie Erasmus trying to get another rematch tomorrow instead of the scheduled Stormers game by saying ‘of course the Lions wouldn’t be afraid for a rematch’
Erasmus came on to the pitch with new team orders (illegal) during the mid week game dressed as a water boy complete with dayglo yellow bib with H2O written on it, unfortunately he forgot to bring the water so a bit of a giveaway!!
All warming up nicely for a fierce first test on the 24th
And yes it’s a slow day today in sunny Eastbourne

Marcus Smith gets a run out for the Lions against the Stormers
Great story Smith was playing for England last week against Canada, Eddie got the call half way through the second half that Smith was needed in South Africa - Eddie tells him in the tunnel having pulled him off the pitch and this week he’s kicking points for the Lions

Warren Garland has picked the team for Saturdays first test against the Boks
Six Englishmen in the starting 15 and 3 apiece for the other home nations
Watson, Daly, Cowan-Dickie, Itoje, Lawes and Curry
Surprised he picked so many Englishmen, surprised he picked Lawes as a Likns Flanker, and surprised Marcus Smith was left out after being fast tracked across last week and having a stormer against the Stormers
