Honestly it amazes me that people rave about Ben Earl . Yes he is playing amazing, BUT we had Sam Simmons available for 6 years who is a better version of Ben Earl and hardly got picked . Now they act like Ben Earl is something new. Its yet another case of English rugby picking someone to play a way that we already had but ignored
That back three from Healey is ridiculous, apart from Lowe. I side more with Stringer but don't think VdM is a definite. Whatever the team, it should be a 3-0 destruction of Australia.

@@kimpembe4594 I think Farrell will want a big abrasive ball carrier towards the end of the game to punish a tired team and add some additional bulk to a pack. Yes he is past his best but for a 20 minute cameo at the end of the game he could do a job.
I am English and I want England to stop picking Billy V (I think we have) let alone the best of the home nations team. But thanks for throwing out a bone - one maybe 2 England players deserve to be in the team, maybe mid weekers at the moment.

I can agree with most of their very overlapping choices. But Lawrence at 13 will mean Ringrose has never been on a Lions test team. A bit surprised Henshaw rather than Aki at 12.

Those selections just show how much all the other coaches and coaching teams need to pick up the pace and build some more competitive teams. The Unions have some work to do as well especially in England and Wales.
Fun discussion. To be fair, as an Irish fan, I can never recall a time when I expected us to win pretty much every game. Of course a lot can happen and it's at moments like these when you're prone to an upset or the opposition will surprise you by pulling out a performance you didn't think them capable of.
It'll be a totally different XV when the time comes. All the so-called experts pick their team a few years out, yet they are always wrong, form changes so quickly in rugby. Look how many of the last Lions team were mentioned.
Surely to f**k got to have NH born players only in the lions . .its getting crazy . Could start with 8 SH players .wtf. its a SA baabaas tour ffs....its 18 months away too . Soooo much can change in that Time . Only shoe ins are Finn Russell and 5 South Africans??
Worthy mentions: Jac Morgan - fantastic all-rounder and leader. Tom Curry - if ever there was the epitome of a Lion. Garry Ringrose (as said below) - but I do agree with Lawrence, he is sensational.

Just bring Ireland.....leave everyone else at home. Be grand 🙂
As a Welshman I’d have said LRZ or Feyi-Waboso would have been in with a shout…
I’ll have to agree with your assessment
@BenDavies-on4hr Just no ones a rookie we don't even know if he can play international rugby and the other is useless outside running forward.

Fuck sake,I wanted to say that. 💚⚪🧡
@@BenDavies-on4hrfeyi waboso???? Give your a head a wobble he hasn’t started a test match yet
Can’t wait for the Irish lions tour. Gonna be epic
Hugo Keenan is one of the best players in the world right now madness by Healey
Hansen, Aki , and Ringrose have to be on that tour, simple as that .
Ringrose?? No way. Henshaw streets ahead of him

Smith at full back???? No way. Otherwise good teams by both.
I can agree with most of their very overlapping choices. But Lawrence at 13 will mean Ringrose has never been on a Lions test team. A bit surprised Henshaw rather than Aki at 12.
I remember when the lions toured New Zealand and ringrose wasn’t picked and most New Zealand pundits were really surprised.
Ringrose will go baring injuries he's better than Lawrence. That's not even a discussion outside England.

Based on performances over the last couple of years, the bulk of any Lions team would be Ireland based. Probably 10 or 11, are definites.
Its not for another year for gods sake. Aki will unlikely be there. Possibly JGP also.
I think the English water boys were brilliant and should be selected

Chill out mate. I get your point. But breathe

They should start calling it the Irish and British lions😉

Yes! The Irish and a few British Lions.
AUSTIN HEALY DOES NOT BALL KNOWLEDGE
No bias here from Austin?
Worthy mentions:
Jac Morgan - fantastic all-rounder and leader.
Tom Curry - if ever there was the epitome of a Lion.
Garry Ringrose (as said below) - but I do agree with Lawrence, he is sensational.
Alex Mitchell - on the up-curve
Ellis Genge - can he improve his scrummaging?
Mason Grady - bolter this six nations. Hungry

No, unfortunately neither Sir Graham, Sir Clive or even CBE Gatty wanted to put his promising attitude to use..
