The British & Irish Lions are criticized for not allowing Pete Samu to play in the First Nations & Pasifika XV match. Samu, recently transferred to the Waratahs, is considered ineligible due to regulations regarding player selection. Coach Toutai Kefu expresses disappointment, noting Samu's potential impact in strengthening the team. The Lions have insisted on strong Super Rugby teams to prepare adequately for their Tests but the decision regarding Samu has raised questions about their intentions ahead of the matchup against the Wallabies and showcases the ongoing tension between the teams.
I'm absolutely gutted, I still can't believe that they would do it, complain about it... but it's extra motivation for our boys.
They must have been worried we were going to win. I don't know why they would do it.
