Re: Definite starters for Lions 2013
Not Lawes. Definitely not Lawes. Warburton though. On his form now Roberts, then Tuilagi, with probably North and Halfpenny and (here goes...) Ashton forming the back three.

Yes it will be completely different, but oing on the two games this evening it will have a very red and blue colouring, with a hint of green and maybe a dash of white.

2 years is a long time ..... I Believe Haskell has to be involved the Super Rugby experience he will get with the highlanders will be incredibly useful. And i wouldn't be surprised if Cipriani was Involved For the same reasons (As long as he has a good season for the Rebels, Sir Ian Knows him well from his time as wasps.
Out of those 15 the only people i would put money on being in the Lions Squad (Let alone the test team) would be Tuilagi and Roberts. As i said 2 years is a long time .....

Priestland looks like a very strong candidate to me, but in all honesty it's too far out to make any kind of meaningful speculation

Ashton can't/won't tackle and gives up if things don't go his way. I'd rather Balshaw on the wing !

Perhaps because he was the top try scorer in the 6N and joint top try scorer at the RWC.
It's not just about your last game. Unless people suffer from memory loss and can only remember back as far as the last game they watched.
Just saying

Care to elaborate on why Ashton is a joke ?
Is it because he copied Shane williams Swan Dive?
Or because he scored two tries when England Beat Wales at the millennium Stadium?
Or Maybe because he has scored 3 Tries Against Oz (The lions opposition in 2013) in two games, one of them being the IRB try of the year ?
Or is it because he has Scored 15 tries out of 18 International Games he has played in?
Or because he is English? hahahahahahaha

Have to say some of the teams posted here are hilarious. As for Lawes he isnt good enough in the lineout to start at 5 unless you had a great lineout technician at 4. He really is quite weak come lineout time.

With regards to which England players will be successful in two years time, maybe England supporters can answer that?

5Lawes The number 6 trying to be an international second row? Some people need to hit reality, this guy is so overated. Charteris and Gray for me, although subject to change in 2 years time.

A re-call for Richard Hill?
On a serious note, you guys really need to hand out caps to Robshaw, Ksevic and Gibson. Bolox to the Saxons, cap them now.

Robshaw needs a cap, the independent have been praising Gibson quite a lot. With Moody, Worsley, Haskell out of the frame. The flanks need a refresh.

As few Welsh players as possible for the Lions team please, select 36 English so Wales can concentrate on their much more important 3 test tour of Japan!

On current form Chris Robshaw, Mike Brown, Joe Marler and George Robson will be pushing hard for Lions selection.

19 months to the tour and we have someone starting a thread about potential Lions starters, even worse we have someone saying that over over the starters will be Welsh.

From what I recall Shane only dived when he'd scored a particularly difficult individual try. Ashton tries to dive all the time in an arrogant attempt to make it his signature move, to satisfy his ever-hungry ego and to rub opposition faces in the score.
So a rather smug joke indeed, as harsh as it may sound, it's written all over his features. Shame for England, if Ashton was a little less up himself individually he could be a valuable team-player.

Ashton scored 6 tries in the six nations 4 v ITALY!! perspective please.
His World cup tries were run ins that any winger would have completed but with out the pathetic swan dive.

We have this in the last Lions tour, all the English fans crying that Delon "the worlds best fullback" Armitage wasn't selected,
Its just your typical lack of knowledge Sky rugby club brain dead fans spinning the same lines every season just insert a different name.
You wait for all the Sharpels and Owen Farrell greatness claims to ring out of England soon.

Re: Definite starters for Lions 2013
If/When Visser plays for Scotland, he will definitely have one of those winger spots. He is an outstanding player, top try scorer 3 times in a row in the Pro 12? He scores tries for fun, would do wonders to the Scotland team.

I'm guessing swan dives are only pathetic when an England player does them ? And that Shane Williams never did a pathetic swan dive ?

Hey may have once or twice like most wingers but he doesn't do it for every time he scores even thou he has plenty more reason to seeing as he set up most of his own tries and is the third all time try scorer in world rugby!
