British and no-Irish Lions
We all know Ireland are incredible at the moment and the Lions team will be mostly green this summer, but what would the team look like if for some reason they all overslept and missed the flight?
I've got the following (assuming fitness concerns are overcome). Not much Welsh representation as I'm expecting from the actual team but some tight judgement calls. I'm biased towards England as I don't watch too much URC so sure there's some non-Eng players I'm lower on than I should be.
Backrow still incredibly competitive - feels tough leaving Darge and Morgan out but I think Underhill is incredible. Similarly tough call on the wings - I think IFW is a freak so goes in, I'm not the biggest DVDM fan and the balance is probably off with IFW and Graham but looks fun to me!
9 was tough too - Mitchell, Williams & White are all similar standard to me.
