I smell a rat here...

There will be an "addition" to the lions squad that ISN'T forced by injury and I have a feeling it will be a 3 horse race depending on the fortunes of either Toulon, Perpignan or the Ospreys.

Impossible that they're only taking two 10's.

Good Call. lets just hope toulon get knocked out in the Semis

Lets not, I like Wilko and touted him previously but not WITH Farell travelling, there is little nous at centre, and already a boot at 10, we need more of a distributor now.

It will be Wilko - To avoid the media hype that Wilko's selection would have generated they are holding off confirming his selection until Toulon have wrapepd up the French championship.

I bet it is Wilko - and it will be a huge mistake unless he is to captain the midweek team

Lions manager Andy Irvine tells @bbc5live "The truth is Jonny wasn't up for it. He ruled himself out. He told Warren tha the feels his body isn't in right shape to complete a tour like this. I admire his honesty & integrity. He cd be available as inj replcmt

It probably will be Wilko, but I'd take him instead of Farrell personally, and then bring in another distributor, Hook or Madigan, probably Hook for experience though.


Good point made though, part of his selection will be managing the media furore, he has selected 15 Welshmen, that wouldve raised eyebrows, and selected 4/5 too many Englishmen too. Give the media a big Wilko stick to chew on for a few weeks, then bring him in and all is rosy!!

I would rather it was Madigan but Jonny would do. If Sexton gets crocked and we are left with Farrell then the goose is cooked.

JW got a call from Gatland but said he wasn't avaliable and not physically up to it

37 is a rather odd no. dont you think, 38 is a nice even rounded up no.
