Lions Squad: 2009

[crispy]

Only 2 Scottish players? Might as well support the Boks I guess. I have no stake in this team.

 

[Hall]

Why did I put Tom Croft in there?

 

[Jer1cho]

I thought Delon Armitage would make it... Well, i think a beast of a team can be made out of that lot. One helluva series is coming up...

 

[Bluemoon]

14 Irish, 13 Welsh, 9 English, 2 Scots???

 

[polonius]

Wasn't there a Scottish prop in the squad?

 

[Hall]

I thought Delon Armitage and Tom Croft would be there.

Paul O'Connell says he's known he was the captain since Monday!

Wouldn't that be yesterday...?

 

[Hall]

Last Monday!

 

[Jer1cho]

I knew he was the Captain way back! :lol:

 

[shazbooger]

Geech always works closely with his captains. They are usually involved in team selection debates as well. Hardly surprising.

 

[Bluemoon]

I really do feel for Ryan Jones. He is the only player who really has been unlucky. I think the lions management really did mean it when they said they were picking on form though!
