[QUOTE="LIONSxv, post: 1038890, member: 82756"] What is the absolute obsession with the last 6 nations ? It would appear looking at some postings that the form of players over a handful of games is the only criteria to a) be a good rugby player b) be in with a shout of the lions selection. Surely actual ability is just as important Mako is by far and away a better rugby player than Wyn Jones. However as you are looking at selection based on the very narrow prism of the last six nations alone. You wouldn't see or acknowledge this. Wyn Jones is a better scummager and had a great six nations. Mako was poor. Sutherland on the other hand has played constantly well for 3 seasons in a scrum setup that is better than its Welsh counterpart. For me we left better LH back home. As for starting pack I'd have Marler or Sutherland LH, LCD, Furlong,Ryan, Itoje, beirne,curry, faleteau [/QUOTE]
