How can anyone not pick Williams at 11? He made the Saffas look like fools in the summer!

Oh and can <strike>everybody</strike> anybody stop picking Gethin at 3! He is a loosehead only![/b]

He can play both, he's a quality player and people are picking him at 3 cause they want him in the starting XV but you can't put him at 1 cause Sheridan must play there

Forgot that Jenkins cannot play 3 <_<

This man on the last Lions Tour played 3 and more than held his own!

It will be between Jenkins and Stevens for the number 3 shirt!

 

[chingnow]

i mean jenkins =.= not jones.. wait i forgot..

 

[dullonien]

I don't think Jenkins is a good enough scrummager at tight head to be up against the boks, who always have strong scrums. He pays at 1 or not atall! I'd have him instead of Sheridan, as he offers way more around the field.

 

[vanStraaten]

Cipriani should be on fly-half, hopefully he'll be back in form by then. Its really going to be an interesting tour and I'm really looking forward to it.

13. Shanklin[/b]

 

[cyRil]

Who you gonna put there then Phil?!!

 

[Sir Speedy]

Simpson-Daniel, Tait, Fitzgerald, O'Driscoll, Jamie Roberts et al...
NOT Shanklin. :angry:

 

[cyRil]

You're 'avin a giraffe, san!!

 

[Sir Speedy]

You're in denial... >.>

 

[cyRil]

Well, if I had my way I'd have McAlister there.

 

[Sir Speedy]

If I had my way, I'd have Regan King there and McAlister inside him. Typical that we're weak in a position where the foreigners excel... I wonder whether Flutey will be eligible to go next year... Anyone know how long 'til he's eligible for England? He'd be pretty good outside Henson, I think.
NOT Shanklin. :C He got destroyed by De Villiers in the Summer and I haven't seen anything this season that suggests he won't next year...

 

[cyRil]

Flutey is eligible before Christmas, but I really disagree with having players of foreign origin on a British Lions tour. I didn't like Cockbain going, and I wouldn't like to see the likes of Parker or Vainikolo in South Africa. I'm not being a racist, well I'm not intending to be anyway, that's just how I feel. What do others say?

 

[Canuck-Backrow]

Give Lesley the Volcano an shot at 13 I think LOL

 

[MunsterMan]

13 is a bit of a problem. Hopefully Keith Earls will play their for Munster and Ireland soon enough. Definitely has the talent to be the Lions #13. I think the only way the captain won't be Ryan Jones is if Ireland/England/Scotland win a grandslam.

Oooooh, I like! :bravo:

Cyril, your starting 22 has a distinct lack of James Hook.

You choose Stephen 'hunchback of notre dame' Jones?
I'd rather wilkinson than Jones!
