[Feicarsinn]

Personally I think the Lions should be picked entirely out of position. Who wouldn't fear this team:

15) Richie Grey
14) Cian Healy
13) Stuart Hogg
12) Sean O'Brien
11) Gethin Jenkins
10) Leigh Halfpenny
9) Brian O'Driscoll

8) Manu Tualagi
7) Dan Cole
6) Jamie Roberts
5) George North
4) Alex Cuthbert
3) Andy Goode
2) Thomas Waldrom
1) Ben Morgan

 

[Peat]

Disgracefully trying to sneak an in position player through there in Hogg.

Surely Phillips on the flank, or even in the centre!

Edit. Tipuric in the centre, or at least somewhere in the backline?

well cian healy is one of the fastest props ive ever seen

 

[Draggs]

Halfpenny won us the Triple Crown at standoff last year, while Priestland was in the bin.

 

[cyRil]

Yeah, he started his career at the Ospreys as a fly-half so that's cheating!

Waldrom and Andy Goode shouldn't be anywhere near the Lions.

Everything else looks good.

 

[Thingimubob]

Everything else looks good.

I dunno, Goode's got the girth for a crack at tight head

Stop the presses! Someone left a Welsh player out of their team!

 

[dullonien]

Stop the presses! Someone left a Welsh player out of their team!

Yeah, yeah.... Both are still obvious choices in an out of position 15, and you know it. Only reason you didn't include them is that you weren't taking your own suggestion seriously. Frankly pathetic!

 

[Feicarsinn]

All of my choices were entirely correct.

Infidel! Burn the unbeliever!

Heaslip at 8, Croft on the blindside.

 

[cyRil]

Have we done a not-actually-British British Lions XV yet?

 

[TommyV]

Have we done a not-actually-British British Lions XV yet?

Nope. Past Tuilagi, Barritt, Vunipola, Strauss, Visser, Maitland and Faletau though I'm struggling. Isaac Boss? Mouritz Botha?

 

[big ginger 8]

Heaslip at 8, Croft on the blindside.

Nah Faletau for Heaslip for this team at least.

 

[RedruthRFC]

Nope. Past Tuilagi, Barritt, Vunipola, Strauss, Visser, Maitland and Faletau though I'm struggling. Isaac Boss? Mouritz Botha?

Counting non-British as players born outside Britain and playing the odd player a bit out of position, I managed to get 14 out of 15 players who were part of national squads this 6 nations. I'm having a mental block on a full back (or even a winger to play out of position) can anyone help? Or replace the out of position players with players in the right position, so replace fringe players with better ones?

1 Corbisiero
2 Hartley
3 Court
4 Botha
5 Heaslip
6 Pretorius
7 Kvesic
8 Falatau
9 Boss
10 ROG
11 Visser
12 Tuilagi
13 Barritt
14 Maitland
15 ??????
