Lions fans in Sydney XV
Hi gents,
I know how there is a tendency for polls, and XV's so I thought I would give results of a group of Lions test choices from the pub tonight and the Australian fans views.
1. Jones
2. Youngs
3. Vunipola
4. O Connell
5. A W Jones
6. Croft
7. War burton
8. Heaslip
9. Youngs
10. Sexton
11. North
12. Roberts
13. O Driscoll
14. Cuthbert
15. Halfpenny
As before fellas this isnt my team, I disagree with a few selections, but a sizeable group agreed this would be best.
The interesting part was an Australians take on a few missing players, he discounted the qualities of Jones stating he was a relic and useless outside the scrum, he scoffed at O Connell for a similar reason, he thought Warburton was there undeservedly and Roberts, North and Halfpenny didn't really know how to play the game and were one trick ponies who would be shown as weaknesses. His team was.
1. Cole
2. Youngs
3. Vunipola
4. Grey
5. Parking
6. Croft
7. Tipuric
8. O brine
9. Youngs
10. Sexton
11. Maitland
12. Davies
13. O Driscoll
14. There isn't one, although at a push North
15. Hogg
He did highlight he has only seen most players while on this tour, and when they travelled south with their nations. He also claimed that the British kicked way too much and don't have the skill to score tries.
As my previous post none of the opinions above are my own, I'm a bit too nervous of stating my own if being honest, but interesting none the less.

I wouldn't pay much attention to anyone who says Halfpenny is a one-trick pony. What a numpty.

You've done well to even find an Aussie sober enough and knowledgable enough to name 15 B&I players - congratulations.

These Aussies don't seem to know their looseheads from their tightheads. Bodes well for the weekend
