Can't think of any nailed on English starters.

4 edits to the original post. Must be a record (Penro's TV guide excepted).

+ sub #16 is the hooker. Cue edit #5.

I can see 2 at present in Tuilagi and Croft with England taking up most of the places on the bench as they seem good impact players.

aha, i'm guessing your one of the plonkers blues was talking about! Whistle

Some people appear to be challenged by the Lions concept.Once selected ALL are simply Lions be they from England,Wales,Scotland,Ireland or thr planet Zog!
These wumming threads are getting pretty tiresome already.I hope the mods will stay on top of this crunder.

English cavalry to ride to rescue of the Lions at 60 minutes.

Warburton has an English parent too don't forget him, or JD2...!

All are British or irish though and that is what is most important.

Hmm, in the past when they played rugby with pig's bladders, that statement could have had a totally different meaning. Whistle

When rugby was played with pigs bladders,did teams 'leak' a lot of points.

Can Lions play rugby though? I think Gats got this awfully wrong. They eat things and stuff and sleep under trees in the daytime but...

I think I'd prefer a few Welsh, English, Scots and Irish lads if I'm being honest....

A Leek
A Thistle
A Springbok
A Shamrock
A Kiwi
A Lion

I think the first test will be mainly Wales. Their maybe 1 English ( Tom Toungs)

After the Loss of the first test and Gatland realising that playing too many Welsh in the first test was a BIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGG Mistake. Sorry

Way to enter into the spirit of it. Saying that, with your prediction record over the six nations (particularly the Welsh games), I'm confident of winning the series now.

I just hope that people like you watch the games, not just certain players in the hope of being able to criticise them.
