Fookin sad if he does. Club allegiances aside, Sackey did rap against Ireland while LF has been a revelation* for Ireland these last few months
*bit over the top but he is class
[quote=ādancarterā]Of those I think I have a better chance of touring than jennings, who is IMHO not even HEC standard.
Good shout on the evans brothers, might get in as a policitcal shout to the scots who wont have many more numbers travelling.
One more name that hasnt been mentioned, Simon Taylor. Covers 2nd rown/back row, previosu tourist as well.[/quote]
ah here.
how many trips does simon taylor have to come home injured from before they decide not to call him up?
Puke,
the sheridan thing was a genuine query. the last thing i wanted to do was give bandage ammo.
But if ever a lad was to know the difference between a tall fat fella and a short fat fella, itād be bandage.
Luke is a far more rounded player than Sackey, but never doubt the Wapss Welsh bias in this.

That, I find quite hurtful.
Another question, do England or Scotland have any viable second row options or will it be the two Irish and the two Welsh?

Nick Kennedy Bandage, heās in the mix. Other than that, no.
Captain was mentioned earlier. I think itās BOāDās to loose. Oā Connell is a banker for starter and i believe he seems to be suited to the kinda vice captain role. Still the leader of the pack and is asked on most decisions from what i can see, but Oā Driscollās remarkable return to form and his obvious on-field leadership makes them the perfect duo at the moment for both Ireland and the Lions.

Iāll let you off on the fact that such a rugby expert wouldnāt have known this already.
No, I know in my own mind who Iād bring but I was looking to see what opinions the rest of you, even casual observers such as yourself, have on the matter.

If you had added those few words in above then iād believe ya. But iād say its time to pick up your soccer ball and go home. These kids donāt want to play with you anymore.
That wouldnāt have made sense though Kev:
ādo do any of ye think England or Scotland have any viable second row options or will it be the two Irish and the two Welsh?ā

Emmmm. You got me there gay boy.
Some of us are trying to have a mature debate about rugby football and you pipe up with petty insults. Disappointing Kevin.
For the record, my 4 second rows would be Wyn-Jones, Toner, Gough and Kennedy, with the first 2 being the test pairing.

O Gara @ 7/4 ?
They donāt rate him at all in the Southern Hemisphere.

Are the southern hemisphere picking the team?
What I should have said was that they laugh at the thought of O Gara starting for the British Lions.
Every person in the southern hemisphere?
I am sure there are plenty of lads in Chile or Bolivia who couldnāt give a fuck
