[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 178664"] Based on current form and personal bias, not trying to second guess which players may or may not be too old to make it or which new players will get there: 1. Sheridan (one of the few easy choices) 2. Flannery (noone stands out) 3. Vickery (he was great v France and noone else really stands out) 4. Shaw (but we need other lineout options as he is less dominant) 5. Hines (did i say lineout options) 6. Haskell (White isn't hitting top form yet, if he does he would make a great Lions captain) 7. M Williams (an outstanding player) 8. R Jones (but Heaslip does look good) 9. Reddan (really impressed by him, great all round game but plenty of competition) 10. O'Gara (on current form his kicking is exceptional and distribution is good. Hook and Wilko in the party) 11. Sackey (a bit unsure on wingers. Williams aside noone looks too sensational) 12. Henson (showing some real class at the moment) 13. Shanklin (O'Driscoll needs some competition to recover his top form) 14. S Williams (is there a better game-breaking runner availible?) 15. Balshaw (or maybe Byrne, but a weak position. Maybe we should invite the french to the party?) Some positions look very competitive (e.g. halfbacks), some have clear choices (Sheridan) but a fair few places are calling for someone to stand up and make the position their own (hooker, wing and full back in particular).
