    The solemn way all the names are being read out you'd swear they were listing the victims of some horrible tragedy at a remembrance ceremony.

    41 man Lions squad
    16 English
    12 Wales
    11 Irish
    2 Scots


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    Lawes, Owens, Moriarty lucky in my view.

    Owens was the best hooker in the 6N by a distance, I felt.

    Moriarty had a good tournament. Fortunate in so far as they've brought a big back row contingent.

    41 man squad. Pretty massive.

    13.

    Vunipola at 12.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,636 ✭✭✭✭errlloyd


    You have to feel bad for the Scots. 2 players - after that 6 Nations. Slightly ridiculous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,581 ✭✭✭prettyboy81


    The scots can certainly feel hard done by. However, unfortunately some lads will miss out through injuries so that list will change by at least 6 names I reckon.

    At the same time though he is never going to start a test game so seems a bit of a pointless pick. Would behind Stander and Billy V at 8.
