[QUOTE="LIONSxv, post: 1038835, member: 82756"] The best all round LH by a mile on ability is mako. Better in the loose, better work rate, best hands, strong. However he shouldn't even be on the tour Imo due to his lack of scrummaging form. I find this almost cult status of Wyn Jones intriguing. At best Wales scrum held its own in last 6 nations. The past two seasons it was going backwards and ceeding penalties. The Irish , Scots and English have better scrums and in the case of the latter better line outs. I get the loyality and bigging up of our own nation players. However the set piece has been an area of weakness for the Welsh for some years. Thus it makes no sense to fill it with Welshmen. Much the same as 9&10 are areas of weakness for the English. It's the equivalent of starting Young's and Farrel for the lions [/QUOTE]
