Un-Capped Choices of the Home Nations?

First topic message reminder :

Any suggestions for un-capped wonders that might make next years tour down under?

There is not a stand out 9 anywhere.A super season from a bolter could well nick a spot I reckon.

Apart from Mike Phillips who is one of the best nines in World Rugby.

More serious that's one spot. The lions will have more than one scrum half.

Three i think.

The current quality of 9s in the world is pretty poor though.. I would still place the likes of Parra, Hougaard and Genia above Phillips though. Phillips is the best choice of the home nations (with Blair maybe challenging).

Agree Rory...!

Parra and Yachvilli are both up there, Phillips a different player but he gets results.

RE Lions if Care sorts himself out outside of the game he would be worth a shout, as would an in form Youngs. Murray, Reddan and O'Leary have their days too... Cusiter, and Blair are both great players too... In Wales there are a number o youngsters nipping at the heals, Gareth Davies, Rhys Webb, Lloyd Williams and soon to be fit Tavis Knoyle...

There is plenty of guys putting their hand up for the second and third spot.
