My Lions Suggestion is:
4 AW Jones (Capt) - most tactically minded intelligent leader in the team

6 Croft- athletic attacking blind side

8 R Jones - grunty yet athletic ball carrier

10 Cipriani - best flyhalf unless hook finds form

11 Tom James (Cardiff) - outsider but he is big athletic and very very fast... will scare the shxt outta the boks

12 Henson - best 12 in the world

Bench

22 Roberts[/b]

I think I just got a little bit sick in my mouth...


Why don't we just throw out a welsh side with a few slightly insane adjustments in other words?

And also, I wish people would stop suggesting Wilkinson for the Lions. It's silly and waste of a space cause he'll get injured as soon as a gust of wind hits and he's well past it anyway. Why not just play gareth edwards number 9? He was good once too.

Oh dear Andy Howells ...

 

[durbutter]

I don't find too much wrong with that myself. Thompson and taking 3 9's and 2 10's would be the problem i'd have with it.

 

[MunsterMan]

Can't really comment on Thompson, looked alright in the 10 minutes I have seen of him. Vickery, Sheridan, Powell and Shaw are all pretty poor selections too but hey no Haskell or Cipriani.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Thompson? Ugh... He's not even in the English side.

Shaw? UGGGHHH! It's a joke that he's an international. Our penalty count needs to be low.

Powell? Meh. If he plays well for Cardiff we'll see.

Those scrum halves are awful though. I'd take Peel, Blair or Cusiter over O'Leary and Ellis.

 

[MunsterMan]

O'Learys display against against the Ospreys was perhaps the finest by a Lions qualified scrumhalf all season, and he did a week after another superb performance the against Leinster. What has Peel or Blair done?

 

[Sir Speedy]

What has Shane Williams done since the Autumn? Nada. Are you going to leave him behind aswell? No. He's World Class.

As are Peel and Blair. O'Driscoll only found form recently, why can't they? They're both light years ahead of O'Leary when on top of their games.

 

[MunsterMan]

Disagree. O'Leary has been off form this season as well, and in the last two games has started to show some form. When he is at his best very few scrumhalfs will trouble him.

 

[monkeypigeon]

When O'Leary's good he's very good....

But on a side note... I did not know they were given a £30,000 tour fee each! For a month and a bit of work! No wonder everyone wants to go so focking badly!

That's a slightly biased view methinks.

Perhaps, but I stand by what I said.
