Going old school now, who would your drinking XV and fighting XV be

Finally the chance for the likes of Gloucester to get chaps on the plane!

Joseph and Launchbury left out of the Lions squad...

Is Gatland off his nut?

Clearly

The more that is being leaked about this lions squad the more I'm thinking I'll be supporting the ABs on this tour (my old man is from NZ). Complete waste of an opportunity to showcase the top talents the northern hemisphere has to offer. Warrenball, proven to be useful in beating the ABs 0% of the time 😡

unless someone is leaking info within the lions coaching party which would be a problem itself I don't know why people continue to speculate and react to rumours, let the squad be announced then you can all moan, for me as a nz rugby fan the more wales players in the 1st 15 the better the chance for a 3-0 blackwash again

on form this team should be made up of mostly eng and Irish players but gatland will no doubt cram a lot more Welshmen that are actually deserving

Warburton captain.

Dan Biggar, Elliot Daly, Jonathan Davies, Owen Farrell, Leigh Halfpenny, Robbie Henshaw, Stuart Hogg, Jonathan Joseph, Conor Murray, George North, Jack Nowell, Jared Payne, Jonathan Sexton, Tommy Seymour, Ben Te'o, Anthony Watson, Rhys Webb, Liam Williams, Ben Youngs

Rory Best (Ireland), Dan Cole (England), Taulupe Faletau (Wales), Tadhg Furlong (Ireland), Jamie George (England), Iain Henderson (Ireland), Maro Itoje (England), Alun Wyn Jones (Wales), George Kruis (England), Courtney Lawes (England), Joe Marler (England), Jack McGrath (Ireland), Ross Moriarty (Wales), Sean O'Brien (Ireland), Peter O'Mahony (Ireland), Ken Owens (Wales), Kyle Sinckler (England), CJ Stander (Ireland), Justin Tipuric (Wales), Billy Vunipola (England), Mako Vunipola (England), Sam Warburton (Wales)

No Hartley and Launchbury the main talking points.

12 Welsh 2 Scots

Joke squad they will get pumped

No Launchbury is a an absolute travesty

Nice to see Jamie George got in though

Which Scots do you think should feel hard done by?

Ah i was a fan of Huw Jones but never thought he would make it in

Warburton captain

Just so harsh on Joe that Gatland is taking Kruis, Lawes and Itoje but he's the england lock choice that misses out

Johnny Gray definitely
Ritchie Gray
WP Nel
Greg Laidlaw possibly

Laidlaw and Nel have had serious injuries. Don't think either Gray are better than Lawes/Itoje/Kruis/AWJ.

Didn't know how serious the injuries were

Awj, Itoji no but the other two Johnny is better imo

But a poor Welsh team get 12 selected, it's a joke cmon you must agree

We expected Gatland to do this

Starting 15s?

Yeah, it was expected to be honest but I agree it is a joke.

Moriarty over Heaslip raise any eyebrows?

Tipuric and Davies ffs fecking Gatland.

Only two Scotsman will come as a blow to Tgbas

Only 2 Scots means I'll be supporting the NZ Provinces, Baabaas, Maoris and ABs. Load of guff. The Scottish pack out-muscled the Irish and Welsh packs, yet 6 Welsh forwards and 5 Irish selected by no Scots.
