Will any non-Welsh players make the Lions first XV?

This thread is not exactly the most serious one going. Danny Lydaite could be added to that list too.

On a serious note. Thats a difference between the Welsh and the English. If you grew up in England- no one would bat an eyelid that you had some welsh in ya

I was amazed at the amount of people who, all of a sudden, had Welsh ancestry Saturday before last. I might point out that these were the same people who discovered Irish ancestry in 2009.

Why would that make them non welsh? Do you know a single thing about any of these players?

Was this supposed to be a thread for sensible comments?? I thought any stupidity was welcome on here, given the nature of the OP.

I was about to post "10 reasons why Gavin Henson should tour", specifically for the benefit of poor Steffan.

Fair. Whilst on the subject of Lions it is clear that we should take the Scotland team, seeing as they can beat Aus home and away.

Not too sure about that, my dad moved to England when he was 11, and was instantly put into his grammar schools rugby team, in the year above too, purely because he was welsh. The did the same with a lad who moved from new zealand as well.
