Lions team on current Form!


A few guys are asking for my view on a current Lions team, namely Leinsterfan and Munster Legend!!! I wonder why??!!!

Well here goes;


15 Lewsey
14 Strettle
13 Tait
12 Catt
11 Robinson
10 Flood
9 Ellis

8 Ward-Smith !!!!
7 Rees
6 Lund
5 O'Connell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 Palmer
3 **** knows
2 **** knows
1 Who cares !!!!!


OK OK !!! Not funny!!!


Seriously ......................;


15 Dempsey
14 Horgan
13 O'Driscoll
12 D'Arcy
11 Strettle
10 Hook
9 Ellis

8 Leamy
7 Wallace
6 Easterby

5 O'Connell
4 Murray
3 E. Murray
2 Best
1 Jenkins


Not sure if those two props can play together, but who cares!!!

Williams loses out at 7 due to too many missed tackles.

O'Gara misses out at 10 because he is O'Gara !!

Peel and Stringer miss out at 9 because neither is on top form and I think Ellis has improved massively.

The Irish back row are so well balanced, but a few good games from Rees and he could be in because good as Wallace is, he is not an out and out 7.

Can't think there are many other areas of contention, but I am sure you will find plenty!! As long as at the end of it, you realise that I am right and you are wrong!!!!

Will, I have consulted the finest sages of The Rugby Forum (TRF) and here were some of the comments:

"Doomed- thats what i think of it."

"I don't know why you listen to that podcast sometimes."

"All that needs to be said is thank Christ he's not going to be picking the Lions team."

"I think what he's done here is to try and pick a team with a lack of experience and a lack of current form.
It's a good set up...really is."

What can I say! And this was merely me just putting your point of view across! Truly a sad day!
