[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1036559, member: 82670"] I don’t think that’s a fair comparison with Italy. I mean, it’s Italy. Ultimately I think it’s not as black and white as you’re making out and is a lot more nuanced than you think. You can’t just throw the baby out with the bath water especially when you’re evaluating individuals in a team sport. We know Itoje, Curry, Farrell, George etc are going so he clearly is going to ignore England’s 5th place. Do you really think England will be bottom of the pile? No chance. But I guess it depends on what you’re expectations are. What number would really **** you off? I mean 7 or 8 are almost guaranteed. It would seem the one constant in lions selection, at least since the 90s, is that Scottish contingent is the lowest and I expect that to be the same again this year (though hopefully a few more this time) [/QUOTE]
