[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1038548, member: 45598"] Possibly, I remember it as Ryan v AWJ and that selection makes sense to me, I think AWJ should be nailed on for the bench, seems like the perfect guy to get over the line in a tight game in what is probably the Lions strongest area and while it's unlikely that Ryan gets in the 23 on current form he's of the class of player that Gatland has otherwise picked to play their way into form, same for Gray who I would have thought made sense to get picked before Ryan. Lawes and Hill are some of the many dead picks imo. Agree re Beirne in the row. I think they were right to be perplexed by the omission of Stander too although not for the right reasons. There's really no one as good as him at tight carrying and turning slow ball into front foot ball in the squad, he would be the type of 6 I want v the Boks and unless he picks Faletau as a 6 I don't see any better options in there. I'd have probably taken Gray and CJ instead of the aforementioned two, the bitterness re Ryan is more due to the bogus reasoning. [/QUOTE]
