[QUOTE="nick_w, post: 190038"] As well as this, by the time the lions tour comes around he could have more experience, the lad is growing every game and not scared to try new things, even breaking the watershed live on the bbc! As up and coming english half backs go, something seriously wrong will have to happen to cipriani to make him miss the Lions tour. If he doesn't get another call up to the England side however, there is always the traditional non-starter the Lions pick (i.e. Greenwood in 97, Robinson in 03 etc.) In fact, there's an interesting question in itself, which player will be picked at complete random, without having an international test cap to his name? [/b][/quote] well it's hard to imagine a non capped test player starting against South Africa but there's plenty of time to be proved wrong that's for sure. [/b][/quote] It happened last time we toured SA: Wikipedia, Will Greenwood "Despite some impressive performances for Leicester in 1997, he was overlooked by the England coach Jack Rowell, but was selected for the 1997 British Lions tour to South Africa still uncapped, and ahead of then England captain Phil de Glanville. " [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Greenwood"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Greenwood[/url] Although saying that, I'm not sure if he played in the tests, damn. :wall: [/QUOTE]
