[QUOTE="BPM, post: 840767, member: 59968"] I agree with most of your comments above. Our squads are pretty similar, I've just been a bit more optimistic on our players' Lions prospects. On the one hand, I want our players to get Lions recognition and I think we have a lot of players with legitimate shouts to go, on the other hand, I'd always favour the development of the England team over and above the Lions. Ultimately if Gatland shafts our players on selection in favour of out-of-form Welshman, the Lions loss is our gain. I agree Argentina will be strong and I think we should take the best squad available. Certain areas need addressing and so warrant experimentation, others plainly don't. I also agree that it's pointless investing caps in players that probably won't make a match day 23 before Japan. Looking back at the squad I picked, there were a lot of uncapped players, but in the 23, I think there were only 6 uncapped. It's no coincidence that 2 were flankers, 2 were scrum halves and another was a fullback! [/QUOTE]
