Thread: British & Irish Lions to Australia

It's time for that hotly contested moment every 4 years when people try to guess who will be in the Lions squad to tour Australia.

Pseudolus has already thrown his toys out of the pram and announced his inavailability to tour based on the fact that there may be some players selected from the 2 time European Champions. Fair enough I say.

I'm not picking the Test team because that would be silly before the team has even played, so I'm picking my squad. There were some very good players who missed the 6N who people seem to have forgotten. I haven't so here's my squad subject to some demonstrations of fitness.

Fullbacks: Leigh Halfpenny, Rob Kearney

Wings: George North, Tommy Bowe, Tim Visser, Alex Cuthbert

Centres: Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, Manu Tualagi, Brian O Driscoll

Fly Halves: Johnny Sexton, Owen Farrell

Scrum Halves: Mike Phillips, Danny Care, Ben Youngs

Props: Gethin Jenkins, Ryan Grant, Andrew Sheridan, Adam Jones, Dan Cole, Euan Murray

Hookers: Richard Hibbard, Dylan Hartley, Rory Best

Second-Rows: Richie Gray, Geoff Parling, Alun Wyn Jones, Paul O' Connell, Jim Hamilton

Flankers: Tom Croft, Sam Warburton (C), Sean O'Brien, Chris Robshaw

No 8s: Ben Morgan, Johnnie Beattie

There are a few players who have been hard done by, but that's life, I'm sure they'll forgive me.

11 Welsh, 7 Irish, 11 English and 6 Scottish.

Who do you think should be going?
