Agreed. All England and Ireland.
However, I'd love to be Gatland. Highest paid coach in the world, last did anything of any value in 2013, bulletproof in his job, and works about ten weeks a year. Yes please. |  |

Is gatland paid more than Eddie Jones ?
Ireland beat England, England beat Scotland, Scotland beat Wales, Wales beat Ireland.
Only one away win, excluding Rome, all tournament
England aren't that good, but neither are the others.
It is officially a non vintage 6 nations.
Hogg, north, Joseph, Farrell, williams, sexton, Murray, Toby, tips, stander, awj, itoje, Cole, best, marler. | |

England were showed up yesterday to be not as great as they think.
Wales again snatched defeat from jaws of victory
Scotland stuffed a pitiful eye tie crowd
Ireland just dug in and their crowd got behind them in a way ours don't
I don't say the All Blecks have little to worry about and will win 3-0
I can see halfpenny missing out as he s been very ineffective.
Could be Gatland might pick him out of sentiment. Maybe not
Number 10 is key. Farrell awesome kicker but limited everywhere else, sexton is a tough kid who can control more.
Webb and Murray will fight it out for number 9 |  |

Is Alun Wyn better than Launchbury, Lawes, Grey, Henderson?
Massive media push for him always - I dont think at 31 he is guaranteed a tour place.
Is Best really better than Ken Owens?
Liam Williams surely a full back pick not wing?
Eliot Daly is another unproven champion of the media.
Ah well 3-0 to the All Blacks |  | | |

Think Williams will play and I agree about him being a fullback however Gatland and Howley do not seem to. Not sold on Launchbury Grey or Henderson either and yes Ken Owens is better than the average at best Best.
What would your side be? | | | |
| Lions Team v NZ on 13:57 - Mar 22 with 2987 views | biggar |
How on earth are people picking Kearney at full back?!?!?! It has to be Hogg. Farrell will be at 10 or 12 so there will no room for people like Halfpenny and Kearney.
Williams is possibly a better 15 than that pair also. | | | |

Hogg tearing it up against NZ...... do me a favour. It's ok to shine against under performing 6n sides. He will not get in test side imo. Kearny the best of the rest for me. As they refuse to use Williams as a 15 | | | |

Not far from what I would go with-I would have Launchbury for Itoje, Watson at 11 and probably Hogg at 15. However Eddie Jones is right about having 'finishers' on a bench-and given Farrell covers 10 it gives more options off the bench-Liam Williams, Itoje, Conor Murray, a complete front row (Jamie George perhaps) and perhaps CJ Stander. Makes the replacements a bit unbalanced (5 to 2) but I think we are unlikely to beat the AB's in the backs but we may do them up front.
I think AWJ is likely to play as Kruis and Itoje lack some experience and the Gray brothers will just be dirt trackers IMO. | | | |

As the squad is 37 that is quite likely. I can see a roughly 14/9/9/5-England/Wales/Ireland/Scotland balance | | | |

The Kearney of 2009 - yes.
The Kearney of 2017 - No chance. Not for me anyway.
Still...can't wait for the series! | | | |

and Joseph at 13. The back three is less nailed on but would expect North to feature simply due to his size and strength over the other wing options. Webb is perhaps a nose in front of Murray but both will be in the 22.
The second and back rows are the biggest challenge with lots of strong candidates. | | | |
| Lions Team v NZ on 17:24 - Mar 22 with 2880 views | perchrockjack |
They will and FARRELL will be found wanting in creativity and will find the BLECKS smashing into him.
Sexton is good but hardly a great and their beck row will kill him.

Plus he's as athletic as his old man.
I think Ross in 3 years time will be colossal. He's got that edge already at 22.
Physically he is only going to go one way, he needs a little more bulk and power.
By 25/26 he's going to be a real handful!! | | | |

Bloody hope so Dick. Wales lacks serious ball carriers in the pack, and when AWJs body gives out or he calls it a day (next WC?), we need some leaders that will stand up and be counted.
We also need some centres that can actually pass and an imaginative 10, but none of that's any good without quality ball up front. | |
