[QUOTE="Peat, post: 463960, member: 42330"] Idle, almost tangential point, but Cockers has apparently been venting steam at the ears, nostrils and other extremeties over the state Youngs has been returned in and isn't playing him until his knee is better. Which I think puts his current form slightly into perspective. I would be shocked if Youngs is not in major contention for that Lions starting berth, providing he's fit, in two years time. On a similar note I don't think Heaslip was fully fit either, hasn't looked it for a while. Would be surprised if he's not in contention, although Faletau has set an almighty high standard (and if Leinster/Ireland move SOB to 8, Heaslip's f**ked, but it won't happen as Ferris will almost definitley break again before too long :() Oh, and Strauss will have difficulty getting past future Ireland captain Rory Best. You knows it. (More seriously, by the time Strauss is qualified, I think Mike Sherry will be ready, and I think Sherry will turn out to be the better player. Although don't rule out captain Best...) I can't be arsed to do a team, save to point out that Paddy Jackson will be the Lions 10. Priestland on the bench, just pipping Flood. I think. [/QUOTE]
