    No Robshaw. Figured he'd have been a shoe in after the 6 Nations.

    Warburton captain is no surprise
     
  2. Howe JHF Howe

    Warburton captain

    FB: Halfpenny, Hogg, Kearney
    W: Bowe, Cuthbert, Maitland, North
    C: Davies, O'Driscoll, Roberts, Tuilagi
    FH: Farrell, Sexton
    SH: Murray, Phillips, Youngs

    P: Cole, Healey, Jenkins, Adam Jones, Stevens, Vulipola
    H: Hartley, Hibbard, Youngs
    L: Evans, Gray, Alun Wyn Jones, O'Connell, Parling
    BR: Croft, Falatau, Heaslip, O'Brien, Lydiate, Warburton

    Croft fuck yeah
    Stevens lucky
     
  3. Riddy JH Ridd

    yeah not happy about no robshaw. bit of a joke really.
     
  4. MrPrez CM Dyer

    Warburton as skipper.
     
  5. BoyBlunder BOY Blunder

    Pretty happy Parling made it in.

    5 England front rowers is a joke though
     
  6. Howe JHF Howe

    Robshaw pretty stiff, yeah
    Launchbury too

    Bowe's a bit of a surprise, hard to see him getting a game. Hoping Hogg gets a go on the wing.

    embarrassment of riches at centre.

    Somehow Maitland is a Lion now...outrageous.
     
  8. Howe JHF Howe

    It was pretty much always going to be England/Wales plus Healey - Ireland's front row disappeared toward the end of the six nations and Scotland never brought one. Stevens & Vulipola is a bit of a joke but there's no-one else.

    Selection of Warburton as captain and Croft over Robshaw hits towards tactics more than anything else.
     
  9. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    Someone to post a probable starting 15 plox.
     
  10. BoyBlunder BOY Blunder

    Heaslip

    Phillips
    Farrell

    I love Bowe tbh, and there's not many others to choose imo

    Yeh centres are so difficult to pick between.

  14. Eddie EI Morris

  15. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    Surprised Warburton is captain - thought he underwhelmed on the welsh tour of Aussie.
     
  16. Magrat Garlick M Garlick

    Not convinced by the Lions halves.
     
  17. Magrat Garlick M Garlick
