    A lot of great selections there but personally I think Lowe over Stockdale and Henshaw over Aki. I feel Henshaw can be the battering ram that Aki can be put can also have that bit of flair.
    Throwing it out there, I think Finn Russell deserves to be the starting fly half next year

    Agree with most of your picks. Scrum half is my only dispute. I would have Price starting with Cooney and Davies as backup. To be fair 9 is looking like the weakest position in the squad as it stands.
    Too much of a bolter but I'd love Duhan Van Der Merwe to be picked. Not capped but there is no winger that I've seen in the last couple of years that has impressed me so much. Eligible for Scotland this year and he'll be a guaranteed starter in the Six Nations in 2021 so fingers crossed!

    • @westbritannia8580

      Youngs has to be there in the number 9 selection. You need experience in a lions squad which Youngs brings.
      I agree with Cooney rather than Murray. Murray has lost his flair and is miles behind Cooney in terms of creativity, raw talent and ability to think on his feet.

      @gordonfisken8349 4 года назад

      I like price but I don't think he'll make the squad. Youngs has to be in there for his experience imo.
      Also I agree with van der merwe - he's class!

      Cheers, reason not for Sexton is cuz he’ll be 36 when the Tour is on. A bit old. Cooney was a tough one, I didn’t go him because I think Andy Farrell need to pick him more for Ireland before he can be a Lion. Thanks for the questions 👍

    Ireland must play Cooney. Youngs not good enough and Tom Williams hot and cold. If Davies crocked - big trouble.
    Murray may come back???
    . Centres is a worry. Tuliagi and Davies getting on a bit. Ringrose - good - Aki? Slade? Farrell no arms. Looks like it could be tough.

      Also happy with backrow options.
      I'm less concerned about the absence of Davies and Tuliagi now though. Concerned about Farrell - I think he can control it, but will be a marked man.

      As for centres, for me a lot have emerged - not as crowded as backrow though.

    Price over youngs, Sexton over Bigger. Larmour needs to get his place on the Irish team first. Only one of May and Adams will go.Who ever starts for Wales over the next 10 months will go ahead of Williams. Could easily be Webb or Davis. Stockdale could go as a full back or loose out to Lowe.

      if sexton or stockdale are touring on current form theres something seriously wrong also may and adams are the two best wingers in the northern hemisphere currently tho admittedy watson pushes them tho both should start so not sure where only one of may or adams is coming from and tbh i dont see murray or youngs touring as 9s most likely davies and williams with either price or webb being the third choice
