War Heron is a bloody brilliant name.

One hundred times better than Breadman anyway.

Once again I'll say that Kieran Read is the best backrow in the world. Has the complete skillset. Quite similar to Heaslip skillset wise but even better. And considering Heaslip was nominated twice for world player of the year that shows how good Read is.

On a more general view on the topic of backrows currently playing, one of my favourite players to watch is Sebastian Negri. Smashes everything that's in his vicinity.

You absolutely can argue. Looking at results alone, Warburton didn't start the first game (which the Lions lost) but started the final 2 (which they won and drew). I'm not necessarily saying I agree, but I can see that a case can be made.

The lions had more to do with having sexton and farrell on the pitch at the same time than anything else

The Lions result was down to some dodgy refereeing decisions robbing the ABs.
