2013 British and Irish Lions

[big ginger 8]

People living in the past a bit regarding both players also doesn't matter too much anyway seen as it's unlikely Jenkins will be available for selection.

He will, the Lions tour is covered under IRB release regulations.
Now, I'd rather he stay at home and rest up for the Autumn series, but that is just my take. Maybe send him to Japan as a mentor for Bevington and Rhodri Jones.

To clear it up, I meant Halfpenny, not Byrne.

It's fine it's an easy typo to make..

Welsh full backs who'll eventually fade away into anonymity

The only English fullback I know is Jason Robinson... how's that for anonymity?

Oh wait, you never had fullbacks after him, just converted wingers too slow to be wingers

All those big hits Lewsey and Foden made must have concussed the SA ladyboys and made them forgetful...

Lol, but they are wingers...

Foden is a converted halfback. And he's definitely not too slow to play wing. If comparing top-form moments, I think Foden is the best FB in Britain and Ireland.

based on the thrashing the British and Irish teams got in the winter tours, it doesn't say a lot...

I'm not sure whether heineken is trolling or being thick, but either way it's pretty poor stuff.

Johnny May?

No seriously, if he was to somehow get selected for the Autumn Internationals and play well would he have a shot?

Leigh Halfpenny and Keith Earls made the 09 Lions tour after some good performances that season, so if he's in form i see no reason why not. Same with Christian Wade

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Not sure May is big enough for Gatland.
Banahan on the other hand...

Gatland's picked plenty of small wingers; the main criteria appears to be good.. so, Banahan out, May in!

I'm sorry has everyone suddenly forgotten Rory Best for hooker? The most accurate Line out thrower in the Heineken cup last year? & also a very powerful scrummager.
I genuinely think he's better than Hartley and Rees..

Aedaphon - would you seriously have Sean Conin over Best? :huh:


Edit: Aha sorry for some reason I wasn't paying attention and replied to the posts on the first page..

 

[Teh Mite]

No he isn't.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Was he really the most accurate thrower in the HEC?
I've always thought he was pretty gash at the lineout, maybe that's just internationally though?

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

No he isn't.

*No, in my opinion I don't think he's the best hooker.

He got an 89% accuracy last year
