LIONS PICK THEMSELVES

[bushytop]

England finished fifth m8 ? An to be fair they were lucky against Italy 2 of there tries should have been disallowed and most of Italy's points in the
Tournament came against a very very poor England team you've gone backwards ! FACT !

Woah there tiger, while I know @TRF_Olyy well enough to know his selection there is 100% his true, unadulterated feelings, you're so new that you have to read that as banter right?

Gotta feeling its MissusTop... she's been threatening to start an account for a bit like.

Since 12s might be a bit of an area of weakness then surely the answer is Hadleigh Parks ?

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Manu at 12 all day long. Pin all our hopes on him then watch him get injured in the last warm up game.

For me it's got to be henshaw ar 12.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Neil Back says he would pick Tipuric as his Lions 7. Says you need something special at 7 to beat the South Africans.

Ive always liked and respected Neil Back. He knows a world class 7 when he sees one.

Yeah I'd personally go Henshaw 12 and North at 13... but Henshaw also looked class at 13 on Saturday, which could open up some interesting combinations.

Yeah I saw that one... Rugby Offload was it? I was quite surprised actually, given what type of 7 Back was himself. Fair play to him though, he discussed his reasoning fairly well.

You taking the ****?

JD2? Seeing as he's a Gatland favourite and Pivac has picked him there.

Yeah that was the one. I was surprised to. Thought he would go for a more 1 dimensional player like Curry or Underhill.

I'd love to see Underhill in as I'm a fan but it's a bit of a risk and not sure you really deserve it when you haven't played. I'll be mildly surprised if Gats doesn't take him, though.

I'm amazed Tips doesn't make your lions team could you elaborate on the reason Why you think that the best 7 in the world, (your words) doesn't?

I was kinda going for a half my team half what I think Gats would do. Tips will go but I don't see Gats picking him. Me, personally, he would go but there's so much depth in that area I'm not going to be annoyed if he doesn't. But for me, there's no one else that can do what he does so he would play but I probably had to many Welshmen in my team and didn't want to trigger anyone too much.

[Welsh Exile]

Did I say he was the best in the world? I might have done but don't recall. Lol.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Actually imagine how good our line out would be with Ryan, AWJ, Bierne and Tipuric in the side. Need a solid line out against the Saffers

I understand, but surely you should pick the best players according to you, Iet me explain I think tips is a fairly good player but against the SA pack he will be found otu at the Breakdown, tackle area, we don't need another centre or winger we need a seven that will at least hold his own at the tackle area and win his collisions, he makes a fair few tackles each game but how many of them stop the player passing or are dominant. I also think tips will go but wont have a start,
