So now the 6 nations is finished who do you think will be starting the first lions test. ? A point for each one that starts and for the winner, I will buy a pint (over 18 of course !)
Below is my selection.
1.Andrew Sheridan
2.Jerry Flannery
3.Phil Vickery
4.Ian Gough
5.Paul O'Connell
6.Martyn Williams
7.David Wallace
8.Ryan Jones
9.Mike Blair
10.Steven Jones
11. Shane Williams
12.Gordon D'Arcy
13.Brian O'Driscoll (capt)
14.Ugo Monye
15. Delon Armitage
Two things you may notice. Firstly not many scots and williams and monye are left wingers but I think they may still go with it.

If anybody gets 15 out of 15 I will up the prize to a bottle of wine (as well as a pint). I was going to say a bottle of spirits but you never know some smart ass might get it!

This may upset a few people but so far Eddies team is looking good for a bottle of wine. Hold back some Florida spending money Mr LOW you may need it.

ha ha - aye my selection is pretty hot, but a lot of guys need to prove they're worthy to get in there. Ford is doing well through his non-involvement at the moment
