We’re joined in studio by Jonathan "Fox" Davies, a Lions legend who knows what it takes to win a series. We dissect the "very Test match feel" of the line-up for the Brumbies game and what it tells us about Farrell’s mindset going into the opening test.
We delve into the crucial selection calls in the back row and centres, with Foxy offering fascinating insights from his own tours—including the infamous 2013 Brian O'Driscoll decision that placed him at the heart of one of the Lions' most controversial moments.
And with Test week fast approaching, we reveal the ultimate first test week prep – what the pros really do. Foxy pulls back the curtain on how elite players gear up for the biggest stage.
Plus, we recap England’s impressive win in Argentina—is the best English fly-half currently playing there?
