The Lions team you'd like to see in the 2nd test.

[Jackie Brown]

We'll since SCW can't pick a team, looks like we are going to have to do it for him.

Heres my go, taking into account injuries.

15. Murphy- enough said!
14. Thomas
13. Lewsey- played here for Wasps this season and looked impressive, we need someone with a touch of class now BOD has gone.
12. Henson- with Shanklin away, we are lacking a lot of options in the center.
11. Horgan- either play him here or play him in the center and put Lewsey on the wing.
10. Jones
9. Cusiter

1. Jenkins
2. Byrne- Thompson will start the nest match and even though Byrne had a mare i still think he's head and shoulders above that goat Thompson.
3. White
4. O'Connell
5. O'Callaghan- lets unite the Munster men.
6. Corry
7. Easterby.
8. Jones- what a guy!

[pwrmoore]

Almost agree with you JB

15. Murphy
14. Lewsey
13. Horgan
12. Henson
11. Thomas
10. Jones
9. Peel - I'd stick with Peel & Jones as a pairing

1. Jenkins
2. Byrne - yes he was bad today but he's still the best hooker on the tour
3. White
4. O'Connell
5. O'Callaghan
6. Corry
7. Easterby.
8. Jones- without a doubt

19. Back.

I would go with

Thomas
Lewsey
D'Arcy
Horgan
Murphy
Wilkinson
Cusiter
Jenkins
Bulloch
White
O'Connell
O'Callaghan
Easterby
Williams
Jones

[cjp]

Murphy
Thomas
God knows?
Henson
Horgan
Jones
Cusiter
Jenkins
Bulloch
White
DO'C
PO'C
Easterby
Williams
Jones

Sheridan
Byrne
Shaw
Corry
Peel
Wilkinson
Lewsey

Shanklin is a massive loss, if he was fit he would be at 13.

[barney]

On the assumption that we can't stuff up the lineout so badly a second time:

15 Murphy
14 Horgan
13 Thomas
12 Henson
11 Williams
10 Jones
9 Peel
8 Jones
7 Williams
6 Easterby
5 DOC
4 POC
3 Jenkins
2 Byrne
1 Sheridan

Got it down to one English man in the starting 15, quite pleased with that.

17 Thomson
18 Cusiter
19 Lewsey
20 Wilkinson
21 Kay
22 Corry

[cjp]

I would consider Greenwood with Henson at OC. Greenwod may have lost a yard of pace but he has a great rugby brain and didn't do much wrong on Saturday.

Just a note Cockbain called out, may I ask why?

We still have four second rows with the pansy Owen and the slow Corry who can both play there so that would be 6. SCW has made a mockery of the Lions and what it stands for.

[barney]

I reckon Henson will do best with fellow Welsh either side of him, hopefully will offset any doubts about his communication skills.

Fair point about Greenwood though.

[cjp]

If Shanklin there a backline of Cusiter Jones Henson Shanklin thomas Horgan and Murphy would do well I think.
