[mikerob]

Warburton is captain

[mikerob]

Rory Best a surprise omission as he would have been in most people's squads.

It looks like he has paid the price for some poorly functioning lineouts with both Ulster and Ireland (whether it was his fault or not)

[Tevez]

No Rory Best.....Dylan Hartley in instead....

[bangorboy]

Hartley over Rory is a fecking joke.

[Rovi Snave]

FFS - Gutted for Rory - Hartley

[tommyblue]

Geez I was expecting a few surprises

[Snipe Watson]

Rory must be gutted. I'm gutted for him.
From favourite for the test spot to non tourist. Shocking

[Samstew]

HARTLEY...................!!!!

[Scranner]

Gutted for Rory. Thought he was a cert.

[Jackie Brown]

Hartley, Murray and Croft.... Wtf?

[Gael]

How can they say there are 3 betters hookers than Rory Best in Britain and Ireland?!?!?!?!

[RichmondRedHand]

Really sorry for Rory - I can't believe they went for Hartley. Otherwise, I think the squad looks decent (Murray maybe the other surprise).

[Meg The Lab]

Hartley is a liability as far as discipline is concerned. He is one of the dirtiest players I have seen in a long time.
