If he picks a lot of players on past reputations, the dirt trackers will get bate out the gate.

Especially considering the poor choice of wide men we have compared to New Zealand.
Massive disparity in that area in particular.
Nick Abendanen and Denny Solmona also could be considered for similar reasons.
Need to take a punt or two in that area.
Denny has brought his own style to the Sharks. He doesn't have the elastic frame of the Fijian fliers in Rugby but thanks to his Samoan blood he is deceptively strong and very determined.
He finds a way to get the football down over the line in positions where you think he can't score here. He'll happily push the ball over the line rather than risk a long arm reach.
Picking Denny would divert media attention away from the rest of the touring party.

Do the Lions have a stated policy on minis?

BOD really doesn't like Rory does he? Doesn't even feature in his Lions XV
