What will the 23-man squad for Saturday look like?

First topic message reminder :

Pinching from our esteemed fellow poster and reigning Mr Know-it-all, for the second test:

Mr (or Ms) Know-it-all.

With two wrong last week, I'm going for the following with a couple of changes:

Lions: Leigh Halfpenny, Alex Cuthbert, Brian O'Driscoll, Jonathan Davies, George North, Jonathan Sexton, Mike Phillips; Ryan Grant, Tom Youngs, Adam Jones, Alun Wyn Jones, Geoff Parling, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton (capt), Jamie Heaslip.

Replacements: Richard Hibbard, Mako Vunipola, Dan Cole, Richie Gray (token Scot), Tom Croft, Ben Youngs, Owen Farrell, Tommy Bowe.

Not saying I agree with that selection, but I think that's what FatMan and his cronies will go for

Radge, may need you to have another watch of the Fox analysis of last week's set-piece re Vunipola - it's not a good selection

I hope you eat your words alasbut100ofus.

There's such a thing as a non petulant scrum half?

I meant relatively, but there is no actual answer to that, well done

Delighted with that squad. Youngs in. Bowe back. SOB on the bench. Ryan Grant on the bench (he so deserves it). Good man Gats.

Have you watched their video analysis or not, beshocked? What did you make of their conclusion?
