[QUOTE="FrankfurtRugbyWatcher4, post: 997815, member: 83480"] Since the fine people who picked this up are obviously well versed with the Lions history in question: It makes sense to honor this selection by naming one such team against which they measured themselves against. Yummy. Tendai Mtwarira Dr. Uli Schmidt Flippie van der Merwe Eben Etzebeth Bakkies Botha Schalk Burger Wahl Barthmann Pierre Spiess Joos van der Westhuizen Joel Stransky Chester Williams Danie Gerber Andre Snyman Brian Habanna Percy Montgomery Bismark Du Plessis Os DuRandt Cobus Visagie Victor Matfield Andre Venter Faf de Klerk Francois “Frans” Stejn Breyton Paulse Obviously this was not New Zealand. Again it did not matter to me, what those players achieved in Lions tour games. But that their playing careers coincided with the historical episodes for which these Lions were picked. I know, being able to choose only 23 names led to some glaring omissions. [/QUOTE]
