Expected to be left out of the Lions selection . Sam Warburton most probably Captain and shock inclusion for Jamie Roberts.
May as well play the whole Welsh team who by the way finished 5th in the 6 Nations. Disgraceful Mr Gatland!

 


Bring back Brolin

Heard that Launchbury, Joseph and Ford might miss out too.
Absolute madness. Ford, I could probably understand if WG sees Farrell as a 10 for the tour. But leaving Launchbury out is unbelievable. Name me a better lock on the Northern Hemisphere than him right now. Madness.

Hartley doesn't deserve selection. He's England captain because the rest of the squad is so inexperienced, but that's not an issue with the Lions squad.

He was brought off after 50 minutes in pretty much every game because George is a better hooker. As are Ken Owens and Rory Best.

You can argue about Wales' problems, but Owens is a quality players, as is Sam Warburton who had a storming Six Nations.

Roberts I'll agree with, but then I've wanted Wales to move on from him and Davies for awhile. Neither should be in the squad. I'd have Joseph in there for sure.

Launchbury is a tricky one, because whoever goes there will be high quality locks/back rows missing out.

Ford, I don't think he's one of the best two fly halves available, and unlike Farrell doesn't cover two positions.

 


Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

Jamie Roberts selection is the only one so far that is a head scratcher.

Launchbury is unlucky, as Username says there is real quality in depth

 


the dignified don't even enter in the game

I'm not surprised with Ford not being included.
I'd imagine if Hartley isn't going to be your number one hooker, he may not be the best tourist. No proof of that of course.

Squad announced

Joseph goes, Hartley doesn't. 16 English players going is about right.

Roberts it would appear, was a red herring
