Lions no.10 (right now)

[wayevs]

So after some thought and the games so far who would you have starting as your no10 in a lions team right now? .
Unbias as possible please.
I'm going for Dan biggar , I think he is the form n10 .
Strengths :
Goal kicking
Defending and tackiling
Takes contact well
Amazing under the high ball
Ability to use Jedi mind tricks on the ref ( cannot be understated)

A weakness I would say is his kicking from hand could be better , I would say sexton has this over him but apart from that I don't see any other weakness really .

What a surprise.

I didnt realise the lions tour was this year?

 

[AzaMatt]

Biggar and sexton would be good options at the moment although alot can change in 2 years, 2017 the tour is isnt it? if ford is given a good run i would predict him outclassing the current 10's by far

 

[tompaton7]

I would still say Jonny Sexton. He has a better running game. Biggar has closed the gap though.

Slade as well all depends on the direction England go in post world cup. If they stick with Farrell neither will be ready.

Also depends on the who Lions coach is and what he wants to do in the backline.

For me currently it's between Farrell and Sexton both have proven big game temperament over a prolonged period of time. I doubt Biggar would be being talked about if it wasn't for last Sunday.

Gavin Henson cruely snubbed again!

he would have been talked about years ago if gatland stopped choosing a poor form priestland over him lol.

 

[Maverick1987]

I'm gonna say Finn Russell just because no one else has and his name is Finn . Nah joking aside if halfpenny is the kicker it's Sexton every day

Sexton then Ford

Don't see Ford. Don't get me wrong, cracking player but he can't keep the England 10 shirt atm let alone start of the imaginary 2015 Lions. Obviously anything can happen in the next 18 months but its Biggar or Sexton. On balance I'd prefer Sexton with Halfpenny our kicking 15.

Pick the 10 who's played best on NZ soil recently.

Pick Freddie Burns. He's our man.
