Just wondering who you guys think will be there in 4 years out of this Lions Squad.

Well first the obvious guys

Rob Kearney
Jamie Roberts
Keith Earls
Leigh Halfpenny
Luke Fitzgerald
Mike Phillips
Alun wynn Jones
Tom Croft
Stephen Ferris
Jamie Heaslip

From England's side:

The 2 Armitage brothers
Matt Banahan
Ben Foden
Matthew Tait
Tom Rees
Ugo Monye
Dylan Hartley
Tom Croft

Ireland:
Rob Kearney
Keith Earls
Luke Fitzgerald
Stephen Ferris
Jamie Heaslip
Tommy Bowe
Tomas O'Leary
Andrew Trimble

Wales:
Jamie Roberts
Leigh Halfpenny
Mike Phillips
Alun wynn Jones
James Hook
Lee Byrne
Gavin Henson???
Daniel Biggar
Ryan Jones

Scotland:
Ross Ford
Thom Evans
Phil Godman
Mike Blair???

Thats at the moment who I think, more to come...

Jeez if Andrew Trimble is in the squad we're doomed. The guy can't get near the Irish 22 and what with the amount of young wing/centres we have at the mo (earls, fitz, mc fadden, bowe, cave) I can't see it happening any time soon,

Trimble has played for Ireland at international level before, hasn't he?

 

[feicarsinn]

Yep. Him and Bowe made their debuts in 06' (i think). Trimble looked like he was going to be the big thing while Bowe just looked average. But its really gone the other way over the last few years.

I'd also be fairly surprised if our man Sexton doesnt go. He'll have just as good a shout a Biggar

 

[Bullitt]

Mark Regan
Jamie Noon
Simon Shaw
Phil Vickery
Julian White
Mike Tindall
Steve Thompson
Ben Cohen
Jonny Wilkinson
Matt Dawson
Dayglo
Haskell
Cipriani


Oh wait... That's the 2011 England World cup squad...

 

[feicarsinn]

Ah now Mite even MJ has enough sense to leave Cipriani out of the team.

Matt Banahan... Are you sure!? He will never he a world class winger. Fact.

He is good a club level for Bath but if he is anywhere near the Lions team in 2013 I will eat my hat.

 

[mohamed_ali12]

I only really watch English club rugby, (apart from H-Cup and Challenge Cup) So can only say those Englishmen who should be on tour.

Apart from those mentioned before

I think players like Tom Rees, Danny Care, Cipriani, Matthew Tait stand quite a good chance if they can keep developing.

I also see Courtney Lawes, Joe Simpson and Jordan Turner-Hall as having a chance if they keep developing as quickly as they are at the moment.

Matt Stevens anyone??

That twat would only suffer white line fever all tour.

 

[MunsterMan]

9. O'Leary
10. Sexton
11. Fitzgerald
12. Roberts
13. Earls
14. Bowe
15. Kearney

Will be the test backline, without a doubt.

 

[feicarsinn]

Dunno bout that Roberts guy but apart from that pretty much spot on.

 

[cyRil]

 

[shazbooger]

[cyRil]

Because '********' is the new 'I like your hat!'

The entire squad will be Welsh.

... Oh ****, we don't have that many people in the country. Nevermind.
