Very rarely do I post on here, but have been reading since the days of 606v1. I love reading the banter between nations, and of course this often takes a turn for the worse, but I cant get over the amount of hate going around about the selection for the final test. The arguments for the inclusion/exclusion of individual players is for other topics, but given the amount of times I've read 'hope Wales get beaten by Oz on the weekend', I thought I'd pose the following question following a hypothetical scenario: Should this team of '10' Welsh players smash Oz on the weekend (or if it was 10 English/Scots/Irish, this is hypothetical remember!), would you A. Still be happy that we won, conclude that the right selection was made given the record win margin, even though 2/3 of the players came from a country not of your own? Or B, rather that we lost, but had an equal player representation from all countries because 'choosing 10 Welsh players has destroyed all what the lions is about' (another quote I've read too many times)?

By the way I'm Welsh, so you know which option I'd choose Smile

And of course by raising such an provocative subject you are continuing stoking the fire of discontent and hate.

Which of course is what you want to achieve really isn't it? Pretty transparent really and pretty petty.

Its a good thing you rarely post if that's the kind of inflammatory topic you choose

ps "By the way I'm Welsh"....... you don't say Sherlock
