No Welsh, they don't have any belief they can beat the Aussies. It's all just about confidence so just send Scots, English and Irish and we might win 3 nil. sounds good to me. :thumbup: unlike you English though I'll still support the Lions if none of my countrey's players are there. Unless you're ...

Warburton's so out of form at the moment he wouldn't/shouldn't make the team, the Scottish lad Rennie would be 1st choice with either Robshaw or Tipuric on standby. He's not that out of form. Been unlucky with injuries since the world cup but he was excellent when he played in the six nations and d...

Run on side from what I saw in June 15 1/2p 14 Cuthbert 13 BOD 12 JD 11 North 10 Hole 9 Youngs or Care, Phillips needs to sort his shit out. He had a 1st class WC. 8 Gray - carries and rucks like a train, so why not? 7 SOB 6 Lydiate 5 BBD/Evans 4 AWJ 3 Cole 2 Best 1 Jenkins I was with you up until ...

I think on current form it would be hard to leave him out, he's had a great season at both club and international level.

5 actually.

I think the Ringlish will have a lot more representatives after the next 6 nations is over, and Ireland a lot less. Disagree about the Irish part. We have about 10-12 players who are Lions class at this point and Id reckon most of them are tour locks Healy,Best,Ross,POC,Ferris,SOB,Heaslip,Sexton,Bo...

This isn't going to be one of those pick your team threads. LIONS THREAD!!! 15. Rob Kearney 14. Tommy Bowe 13. Jon Davies 12. Jamie Roberts 11. George North 10. Jonny Sexton 9. Ben Youngs 8. Dave Denton 7. Sam Warburton 6. Stephen Ferris 5. Richie Gray 4. Bradley Davies 3. Dan Coles 2. Rory Best 1....

Just watched Hotel Rwanda again.

Quality film, really puts things in perspective.

These pod casts have been getting me through revision. 2 hours of quality music from a quality DJ

I'd give Clart a run out against Italy to see how he does. He is invaluable at the line out.

Assuming everybody's fit I'd go with the exact same team, move Ryan Jones into the second row to replace Davies (I'm going to just assume he gets a lengthy ban) and have Lydiate at 6.

It's funny to think just a few years ago our back 3 Was Ickle/HP/Byrne. How times change.

Watched American History X again the other day. Forgot how good that film is, really superb stuff. I recommend it highly to anybody who hasn't seen it. That's the Ed Norton one? Good movie. Yeah that's the one. The one about the White Supremacist gang. Norton is really good in it as well, great act...

Curve takes a dramatic turn upwards.

That backline is very sharp. And no James Hook! Rejoice!

They'll win one at home this year. Either Australia or the Boks. It'll be a few years before they sneak a win on the road though.

I see Argentina being to the RC what Italy are to the 6 Nations. A challenge for anybody at home and plucky underdogs on the road.

How can you miss The Jaw, he's right next to Powell.

Bloody hell, Cuthberts massive. Towering over Jaw, Toby and Mongo.

Didn't Ryan Jones start out with the Black and Ambers?

Possible replacments if all don't make it 1 paul James 2 Huw bennett 4 Brad 5 Ian Evans 6 Ryan Jones 10 Hook 12 Ash All good players and will give their all no doubt about that call it an excuse if you like but that is a lot of players to lose, Wales can still win but if the magnificent seven are o...

My blind faith and optimism has been crushed. I'm going to watch Llandaff play instead, oh, and Cross Keys.

I can see the Dragons going to way of Connacht and becoming a development region.

Is it only me that thinks that it's not the best idea to keep a well known nervous-nelly in Hook on, uh, tenterhooks by waiting to see if Priestland is OK? Surely if we wanted to imbue him with some confidence, we should have just said 'Look, Priestland's out, we're going with Hook'. But Hook's shi...
