DAN BIGGAR: What it's REALLY like to be the 'bin juice' on Lions tours... and the positions that are still up for grabs for the first Test
I always remember Warren Gatland 's talk after our final midweek match on the 2017 tour of New Zealand. We played the Chiefs on the Wednesday night and the first Test against the All Blacks was three days later.
It was a really tight group but everyone had a good idea of who was going to be in the Test team and who were the midweekers. Gats came into the changing room that night and said 'Ah, we haven't picked the team yet'. Hask cut him off and said with a hint of irony, 'Boys, there's still a chance' and everyone just cracked up laughing. The bigger irony was Elliot Daly and Liam Williams both playing in the midweek team and ending up in the Test squad.
