Tiercel 6,986 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 A few surprises there, Farrell? Well his dad is a coach I suppose. Not that I am suggesting anything untowards. Hartley? Less said the better. Stevens? Just why? Best left out. That could be down to his throwing that has gone to pot this year. Robshaw? There again why? He was immence against Wales in the 6 nations the only English forward to put his hand up and give it his all. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you feeling left out? ..... im not but alot of the england players are feeling left out........... A good few of them can feel hard done by imo, Robshaw, Launchbury, Wood, Foden would've been picked if he was 100% fit but the biggest shock for me was leaving Ben Morgan out, he's been head and shoulders above Heaslip.

Wales1234 5,443 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Would put money on Ben Morgan being in there think he's a awesome number 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Some strange selections IMO. 3 English props ?? 2 English hookers ?? No Rory Best ?? Matt Stevens doesn't even play international rugby any more. No Ryan Jones ?? I'd have O'Connell as captain, because i think he's guaranteed his place, where as I wouldn't even have Warburton on the plane. If you don't want to captain your country, then you shouldn't captain the Lions. My Test team. Forwards; Jenkins, Youngs, A Jones. O'Connell, AW Jones. Tipuric, Faletau, Croft. The Girls; Phillips, Farrell (Should be Wilko, but never mind) Davis, BOD, North, Cuthbert, Kearney. ..........Oh, and i would have a coach from the Home Countries rather than a foreigner.

I can understand your reasoning behind Warburton not being captain but on form he's a class act, why wouldn't you pick him in the squad? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand your reasoning behind Warburton not being captain but on form he's a class act, why wouldn't you pick him in the squad? IMO Wales played better without Warburton. Ryan Jones was superb when he came in and i didn't think Wales missed Warburton. My back row would have been Tipiruc, R Jones, and Croft. Surley with Warburton playing, the rest of the back row will have to be Welsh, can't see anyone else getting a look in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I think the Welsh back row is very well balanced. However i think R Jones is better than Faletau. I also think Croft is better than Warburton. Jones isn't going, so Faletau will probably start (Heaslip is out of form) Warburton will always start, off course. So no Croft. So they might just as well pick the whole Welsh back row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
