It completely defeats the purpose of the players playing hard all year to get in the Lions team if they are just going to take the most popular ones, whether they have been playing well or not. As for taking retired players, that is crap. Whats the point of all the other players at Johnsons position playing their socks off to get into the team? when he can just waltz in after taking a year off and go straight into the team. Im as patriotic as the next Englishman but im not stupid. Wales were the best team this year by a long way so it needs to be mostly Welsh players, thats just common sense.

Im not welsh or english but I agree with the arguement of not having equal countries in the Lions Team. While watching the Lions game one of the Commentators said "its as if theres an English pack out there".. Keith Quin said that in which hes the best at commentating the Rugby Games lol..
But it is quite sad and I know alot of ppl over in Wales or Scotland are thinking the same thing.. sadly though nothing can be done unless something miraculous happens... heh.. I just hope its worth the thousands of dollars people have paid to watch them play the ABz.. But I guess the ABz can have their bad "years" aswell HA lol..
in the paper today it said that Jonny Wilkinson was the only player who played well enough to show that they could beat NZ but from what i saw the only result i can see is NZ owning them cause the lions played shit against Argentina.

Well looks like you got your wish my welsh friend as the "great" Laurence and his "world championship winning level" of loose forward play his been removed. and yes I think World Champions who have been injured or retired should be in the team

Well the lions were awesome, rubbish then quite good all in the same game.
Hreat with the ball, some dodgy tackling and defense.
O'Gara's kicking sorted things out though.
A pity Gordon Bulloch didn't have the best of games. Looks like the test side will be without a Scot.
In the scheme of things........
Splitting the party into midweek and test sides very rarely works. Using players retired from international class rugby in the biggest international tour is daft. O'Driscoll doesn't seem like the best choice for Captain, not rreally a leader of men, hugely talented, but it is not often that the most gifted are the best leaders.
There's more than 3 welshmen in the party and I would imagine more than three in test side. Peel, Jones, Henson, Owen, maybe Thomas.
Should be a very good tour
__________________ In football, you use your foot to kick the ball, hence the name.
Americans add throwing, pads, alter the length of the game etc, i.e. change it completely yet still call it football.
Then they call the original soccer, and expect the rest of the world to adopt this bastard name. Pish.
From hence forth American football shall be known as "soccer." by me.
I hope its a good tour.. for all those fanz that bought a couple of thousand dollars worth of tickets.. oh who am i kidding i dont give a crap LOL.. i just want to watch it.. oOoo i saw the Barmy-Army.. they looked great in the crowd... eventually the AB fans will drown them in black in the up coming games hehe..
when i seen the title of the thread i was luck "Holy Shit!!!, a Detriot Lions Thread!!!!!! . i knew i wasnt the only Lions fan on KMC, YESSS!!!" than i came in here and its a rugby team, i'd like to thank you all for dashing my hopes and dreams of having a community for the detriot lions

Its spelt Dallaglio as in "World Cup Winner"
He wasn't caught selling them, just bragging about taking them to a girl who happened to be a Journo. Haven't you ever made a mistake round a pretty girl?

A lot of players who would have altered the five six nations outcome but have retired have been picked.
and yes I think World Champions who have been injured or retired should be in the team 
hehe..
