Shifting the goalposts? I never said they were weaker, you did!
He could still pick any other player once he was satisfied they were better. That was my point.

So basically do exactly what happens now then.

It would probably be more interesting to see the Lions play an equivalent southern hemisphere side. The best of SA, NZ & AUS.

They'd be in the same boat rather than a well-oiled international side.

Agreed, the longer the professional era goes on the more unbalanced the idea of a scratch side vs. a regular team will become.
