You can actually hear the point that Austin's medication wore off... "and then at full back, I've gone for Marcus Smith." NURSE, He's out of bed again! Hugo Keenan every day and twice on Sundays.

Can’t wait for the Irish lions tour. Gonna be epic

Just bring Ireland.....leave everyone else at home. Be grand 🙂

Lawrence and over Ringrose is wild. And as far as Smith over Keenan, I have no comment 😂😂

My 23 would be Ellis Genge, Dan Sheehan, Tadhg Furlong, Tadhg Beirne, Maro Itoje, Peter O'Mahony (c), Josh Van Der Flier, Caelan Doris, Jameson Gibson-Park, Finn Russell, James Lowe, Bundee Aki, Ollie Lawerence Duhan Van De Merve, Hugo Keenan, Bench: Pierre Schoeman, Dewi Lake, Zander Fagerson, Joe McCarthy, Billy Vunipola, Gareth Davies, Marcus Smith, Mack Hansen

@@kimpembe4594 I think Farrell will want a big abrasive ball carrier towards the end of the game to punish a tired team and add some additional bulk to a pack. Yes he is past his best but for a 20 minute cameo at the end of the game he could do a job.

I am English and I want England to stop picking Billy V (I think we have) let alone the best of the home nations team. But thanks for throwing out a bone - one maybe 2 England players deserve to be in the team, maybe mid weekers at the moment.

Those selections just show how much all the other coaches and coaching teams need to pick up the pace and build some more competitive teams. The Unions have some work to do as well especially in England and Wales.

Fun discussion. To be fair, as an Irish fan, I can never recall a time when I expected us to win pretty much every game. Of course a lot can happen and it's at moments like these when you're prone to an upset or the opposition will surprise you by pulling out a performance you didn't think them capable of.

I can agree with most of their very overlapping choices. But Lawrence at 13 will mean Ringrose has never been on a Lions test team. A bit surprised Henshaw rather than Aki at 12.

Ringrose will go baring injuries he's better than Lawrence. That's not even a discussion outside England.

They'll have to reverse the order this next tour to 'Irish and British Lions'... ;)

Honestly it amazes me that people rave about Ben Earl . Yes he is playing amazing, BUT we had Sam Simmons available for 6 years who is a better version of Ben Earl and hardly got picked . Now they act like Ben Earl is something new. Its yet another case of English rugby picking someone to play a way that we already had but ignored

That back three from Healey is ridiculous, apart from Lowe. I side more with Stringer but don't think VdM is a definite. Whatever the team, it should be a 3-0 destruction of Australia.

Based on performances over the last couple of years, the bulk of any Lions team would be Ireland based. Probably 10 or 11, are definites.

1. Porter 2. Sheehan. 3. Furlong 4. Chessum 5. McCarthy 6. Lawes 7. Morgan 8. Dorris 9. Park 10. Russel 11. Hansen 12. Aki 13. Ringrose 14. Graham 15. Keenan 16. Kelleher 17. Genge 18. Bealham 19. Beirne 20. Conan 21. Mitchel 22. Crowley 23. North/henshaw

Yes! The Irish and a few British Lions.

Lawrence over Ringrose....No chance.

Worthy mentions: Jac Morgan - fantastic all-rounder and leader. Tom Curry - if ever there was the epitome of a Lion. Garry Ringrose (as said below) - but I do agree with Lawrence, he is sensational. Alex Mitchell - on the up-curve Ellis Genge - can he improve his scrummaging? Mason Grady - bolter this six nations. Hungry Can't help thinking there's a prop or two from Scotland and Wales...Schoeman comes to mind. Seen decent propping talent emerging in Wales...

Its not for another year for gods sake. Aki will unlikely be there. Possibly JGP also.

Let Ireland play the Saturday games and the other country play wednesday nights.
