[QUOTE="UlsterRugby2012, post: 569429, member: 59097"] I agree Dullonien that with those last 2 games he should have toured, but to captain the Lions? That's something completely different - he's never even been on a tour before, & those two games he played he wasn't captain IIRC, and was just focusing on playing. With such good backrow options, it's annoying now we can't chop and change as much now 1 position is pencilled in. I just can't help but feel it'll be O'Connell or AW Jones who'll be the real captains, the ones who the players go to for whatever reason. I totally agree - I really rate Lydiate, in fact I have him on par with Ferris (and that's saying something for an Ulsterman). But I'm afraid this selection was complete bias; Robshaw, Beattie, POM or Brown deserved it more. [/QUOTE]
