OK, whose that big fella for Wales (narrows it down doesn't it?) got a name like a direction? East? or South or something? Well we definitely don't need 'im, after all what does he add - class, power, tries, defence?
Right then who else accompanies George North?
The options are:
George North (Wal), Alex Cuthbert (Wal), Max Evans (Sco), Lee Jones (Sco), Keith Earls (Ire), Tommy Bowe (Ire), Chris Ashton (Eng), David Strettle (Eng)
In terms of who goes its perhaps easier to ask which two wouldn't make the cut and for me that would probably be Jones & Strettle. In terms of who starts, North obviously is nailed down, 14 is more of a contest probably between Bowe (who was certainly the better in the Six Nations) and Ashton who can be great but has been a little out of form and out of sorts of late. My view would be that if he can recover that form he'd get the nod and if not then it would go to Bowe
What are your thoughts folks?

North and Bowe for me! Though if Ashton has a massive surge in form he will b a contender.
I'd go with North and Bowe though

100% agree.
North and Bowe
Didn't Bowe finish the 6 nations topping the try scoring list? Can't argue that the boy knows how to finish.
North brings perhaps more to the party in terms of being that kind of Lomu style winger who just destroys defenses and if he doesn't finish the move he gets the off load.
Also Bowe can cover Center.
North and Bowe 1 and 2 respectively. No contest in my opinion for Ashton who is a great sniper style winger but in terms of a complete skill set is very much trailing in the wind behind the other two.

North and Bowe for me also, but Ashton isnt far away from Bowe. I think North will be the star of the series.

Come on guys, Ashton is rubbish, all he does is finish of other peoples moves, apart from that he offers nothing.
His place in the England team is massivelly under threat let alone the Lions.
North and Bowe to start

Swap Strettle for Sharples.

Agree with RedtillDead,
Sharples is class.
