Lions selection>>>> Based on this 6 nations!

Tough one, considering how some teams/players are underperforming, and there are several players who'd be first on most peoples lists who are out (Jenkins & Jones mainly)

I'm going to pick mine based on current form (so knowing that Roberts/BOD make a great centre partnership doesn't effect my choices etc.)

1. James
2. Hartley
3. Cole
4. Gray
5. Palmer
6. Lydiate
7. Warburton
8. Haskell
9. Youngs
10. Flood
11. Bowe
12. Lamont
13. Hook (Centres are bloody hard to pick considering how there have been pretty much no decent centres, so Hook'll do)
14. Ashton
15. Foden

16. Rees
17. Corbisiero
18. Wyn-Jones
19. Barclay
20. Stringer (?)
21. O'Gara (<--Like I said, current form, not what he's done in the past)
22. Evans

I think I'm going to wait for the last game, but I can assure you now my team will emphatically not include Louis Deacon or Luke Fitzgerald. In fact I'd say Fitzgerald is very lucky there's been so many high profile blunders from Ireland this tournament or everyone would be talking about how he is the Irish Ugo Monye.
 
Not all based on this 6 nations form, just my team in general

15. Ben Foden (Rob Kearney could be close, but been injured lately, if he can regain 2009 form)
14. Tommy Bowe
13. Brian O'Driscoll
12. James Hook (Jamie Roberts has been worked out, teams now just man mark him, and I think he is used badly by Wales)
11. Chris Ashton
10. Toby Flood
9. Ben Youngs
1. Gethin Jenkins
2. all crap, whoever is picked wouldn't make a great deal difference
3. Adam Jones
4. Tom Palmer/Courtney Lawes/Richie Gray
5. Paul O'Connell
6. Stephen Ferris/Tom Croft
7. John Barclay

Thats:
14 English
4 Welsh
2 Irish
1 Scottish

and 1 unaccounted for

I didn't realise it was so English tilted, but they're who I feel have preformed the best.

Not on 6 nations form purely, because you wouldn't have 15 players if I picked it like that.

Pretty much go with that, reckon a fully fit Chris Cusiter would take the bench spot for me, unsure of the number 8 spot as none of the 8's have really shone in a while. Id also look at possibly including Max Evans over Earls on the bench.

welcome to the forums, but hahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahah!
 
And no hooker replacement on the bench dear dear dear.
 
I think Healy has had a damn good championship so far and he would be a brilliant impact replacement off the bench. Jenkins is the best loosehead in the home nations but he is injured and I think Healy is would do a good job off the bench.
