[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 213002"] the lions tour in a year's time, so i hope during that time we can find some real quality because South Africa's only question mark comes at 14 in terms of where there are class players. There aren't any outstanding British hookers at the moment. There are some great locks but the only one who's looked on top form this season was Alun Wyn Jones. Back row we can compete whoever out of the 4 backrows makes it. scrum half... blair's good. peel and phillips are good. ellis and care are good. but they need to stay fit and in form. outside that, o'gara is a class act but a choker. cipriani is a class act but young and inexperienced and currently injured. i'd laugh if i was south african and hook made fly half. o'driscoll [i]was[/i] a class act. Henson has to be a shoe- in at 12. Then we're struggling for centres, i suspect BOD will get there. wings, well Shane Williams provided he keeps the form of 2008. Outstanding winger. otherwise, Sackey has to play 14 since I can't think of any other quality wingers, Horgan maybe fullback. major weakness. Lee Byrne atm but he's the sort of player who performs well on a Welsh bubble (like hook) and not on the big stage. Tait or Fitzgerald depending on this season are options. [/QUOTE]
