Baby Farrell gets Lions call up, Tshituka makes test debut, should the All Blacks worry

Shaun, Kooks and Thala preview the weekend’s test rugby, but first discuss the breaking news of Owen Farrell replacing Elliott Daly in the British and Irish Lions team.The boys disagree on whether this is the right call and what Farrell could bring to the Lions squad, whether he plays in the tests and how annoying Farrell and Sexton barking at you would be. We also discuss where the Lions are after their big victory over the Reds.We then look at the Springbok team selected for the Italy test, which looks a lot like a first choice team. We discuss why this is a big test for Damian Willemse, Morné van der Berg and Vincent Tshituka to impress and the return of the 6-2 bench.We spend some time discussing the All Blacks side chosen for the first test against France. We debate whether the Rieko Ioane at 13 experiment is over, the inexperienced bench the All Blacks have chosen and what the French would need to do to complete the upset.We finally round up and do quick previews over the other test matches this weekend, including looking at El Crapico between Japan and Wales, how Argentina v England might be the underrated game of the weekend and what we could see from Joe Schmidt when the Wallabies face Fiji on Sunday.
