Oh you nusiance you 
I think personally I'd be looking at Healy/Ross for an Irish appearance in the front row.

A backrow of O'Brien, Warburton and Heaslip is a must for me. Similarly a half back of Care and Sexton. O'Driscoll is a cert at 13. Apart from that the rest is up for grabs.

Changes I'd make from your selection Glas are...
12. Jonathon Davies
11. Chris Ashton
9. Not sure, none have stood out for me this season, but potential would go for Reddan as he has worked well with Sexton.
2. Again not 100% as all of the British and Irish hookers have their flaws but probably would plump for Rees in the end.
5. Tom Palmer
12. Jonathon Davies
11. Chris Ashton

I don't think Jamie Roberts deserves a place in a Lions starting XV. Yes, he formed a great partnership with BOD against the Springboks, but that was two seasons ago. Has he been setting the world alight since then?

I agree Luckless, Jamie Roberts has started to look like a one trick pony. I know a lot of people put this down to the way the Blues use him, but he was the same in a Wales shirt. I'd go for Jonathan Davies, he's got a little bit more to his game than Jamie , and also Jamie has started to believe in his own publicity and gotten a bit of a bighead. There's nothing worse than a player who thinks he's a shoe-in for a Welsh shirt,they get too complacent and their game suffers.

Ok, I've taken what's been said on board, in part at least. Any more for any more, I can't guarantee satisfaction but try and persuade me.

Notch your forgot to include a controversial residency player. Waldrom would be a good bet.

Ahh, see I had Shontayne Hape but I forgot to amend my team accordingly when I brought in Henson. Quite right Stag- mea culpa.
