IAN BALSHAW!!!!! I LOVE THAT GUY! Put him in as the comic relief (though he has been doing ok at no 14)[/b]

I laugh when I see him play for England. But Ian Balshaw in a Lions jersey would make me cry.

He's a bloody world cup winner! show some respect
 
Dang, if he's a nice guy we have to be nice about him. From now on when we have anything critical to say about him, we'll speak as though he has an alternate ego which puts in very iffy performances at full back, but is entirely different to the wonderful man nominated for Sports Personality of the Year. His name will be 'Ian 'ah balls'shaw
 
If I compare your lists you have plenty of talent among your rangs, Looking forward to see them in action.

what are the expectactions from your point of view, obviously winning as much as possible but if you have to be honest what do you think about their chances?

You'd kill yourself playing that game.[/b]

1. Whenever Ronan O’Gara kicks the ball, one shot of schnapps must be knocked back (credit: Robbie Richmond)
I admit... that one alone has potential for death some days.

2. Whenever Ronan O’Gara is choked out by an opposition player, all contents of current drink must be knocked back.
Doesn't happen that often...perhaps everytime he f**ks up a tackle would be better

3. Whenever Ronan O’Gara is knocked back in contact, half contents of current drink must be knocked back.
I won't argue with that

4. Whenever Ronan O’Gara complaining about a poorly num-num, 2 fingers of current drink must be knocked back.
I don't understand...

5. Whenever Ronan O’Gara drops a duff pass from Peter Stringer, 2 fingers of current drink must be knocked back.
Luckly he's not playing

6. Whenever Ronan O’Gara misses a penalty kick, once shot of schnapps must be knocked back.
i.e not very often

7. Whenever Ronan O’Gara looks like he’s about to cry, 2 fingers of current drink must be knocked back.
He only cries when Pauk O'Connell is angry

8. Whenever Ronan O’Gara makes a duff pass to his centres, 2 fingers of current drink must be knocked back.
That doesn't happen. He has dreamy passing...

9. Whenever Ronan O’Gara has supposed gambling problems a alluded to, 2 fingers of current drink must be knocked back.
(credit: Stuart Brandwood)

The winner is the last player still conscious.

No, get it right, you had a dream once where you thought he was passing. It never happened, it's isn't real.

In the real world he kicked it away.
 
everone goes on about rog and he can't tackle whatever either can cipriani or hook or jones if you want a 10 to tackle then play henson there but your 10 is key and if needs be have your blindside covering your 10 like best does for quins nobody can get away from the fact that o'gara is consiently the best 10 in the british isles he is class above cipriani and hook cipriani will get there is time this weekend will show alot about his temperment bbut hook is out of it altogether shows momwnts of genius but his game his littered with mistakes eg his first pass on saturday


blair is lions 9 no question about it what so ever
 
I really need to watch Scotland more often and see just why everyone keeps banging on about Blair.
 
You sure do, find yourself a replay of last weekends match. It was like him against the All Blacks at times, often to quick for his teamates to believe as they never supported him.

No. He isn't.
 
I did start watching the match in the Prince of Wales after our game and saw him make a couple of really good breaks, but after 10 pints and downing 7 Jaegerbombs, my head got a bit funny to say the least. :p
Bluebull says he is a definite starter at 9, but with Peel, Phillips, Reddan, Care and Ellis all vying for a spot as well what do you think Schalk?
 
Well after the last round of matches I would probably select just one Irish player (Fitzgerald), One English (Croft), and a few Scots (Blair and two forwards with a bit of guts). I'd assume after the next round, we could add at least three welsh players, another scot and hopefully another English and Irish player.

My question is, would it be okay to just travel with just 11 players, or do we have to fill up the plane with a lot of mediocre shite the home nations are producing?
