Lets just support the LIONS !!!!!
Ok, some strange choices, too many Welsh, too many English just about the right no of Irish, not enough Scotts, better players could have been picked, only two no 10's...................... WHO CARES. The squad has been picked, lets back the boys, they can win this, ney, they can go through this tour and emulate the 1971 Lions and win every single game, lets stop bickering amongst ourselves and come together as one, only once every four years we get to do this, then we can go back to the bickering, I think we have the players there to win this series so I am not getting bogged down on trivial things like Hartley selected over Best. Hartley is there now so we must support him, along with the other 36 players, COME ON THE LIONS.

Can we not bicker for a few more days please? Then once acceptance has sunk in we can have intelligent discussion on selection and tactics?

All the English are doing are moaning and blaming Wales. They'll never understand lions unification.

Pure BS Morg/WLG. There's equal amount if questioning over selections from everyone.

Actually, we're blaming Gatland, but mostly for making the wrong choices in picking English players - haven't seen anyone make a strong case for Stevens or Hartley, and most people would have picked Robshaw (or Wood or Brown) ahead of Croft.
Only Welsh player we are complaining about is Lydiate, and then only because he hasn't played anything like enough to prove his worth this season.

Actually most of us are questioning the selection of Stevens, non selection of Best (with two English hookers going) and the non selection of Kelly Brown with Croft and Lydiate going. There are selections I find hard to fathom - but for a couple of months this is our team - so COME ON BOYS LETS HEAR YOU ROAR

Just to be (unapologetically) pedantic, the 1971 Lions didn't win every single game.

Haven't noticed many (if any) England fans making a big issue of that. I think most of us have Sheridan down as a slightly over the hill guy now, while Gethin came good towards the end of the 6Ns and in particular against England (and to quote Ron Atkinson - 'I never make comments about the referee and I'm not going to start for that prat' ).

I said emulate, which is do better/achieve more. The 71 Lions drew the last test, I think we will win them all this year.

"There's a good Welsh contingent of leaders who I can rely on and there are other experienced players in the squad who can help me along the way.
"It's an experience I really can't wait to begin. I'm really looking forward to it now and will just keep doing what I do for Wales because I guess that's what Warren has picked me for."
Go Sam!

Looking forward to Grant carrying on dominance over his opposite numbers, Laidlaw superb accurate kicking, Visser carrying on his try ratio thats second to none, Swinson, Tonks, Horne, Dunbar all newbies with immense potential and of course Matty Scott and the Killler Bs all form forwards... can't wait for the Summer Quad Tour of SA. Come on Scotland lets use this travesty of justice to have a great summer against quality opponents and consolidate a great future for Scottish Rugby. Justice......
