    Alun Wyn Jones will be unveiled on Thursday (Friday NZT) as the British and Irish Lions captain of a 36-man squad to face South Africa, which is set to include England exile Sam Simmonds.

    Fat Billy to miss out to Simmonds.

          I gave up after 10 minutes - I'll read the team list later.

          Really not interested in 30 minute dialogues on what being a Lion means

                      Dunno who to support tbh. Kiwi connection in the Lions plus I'm Welsh from a couple of generations ago. Idk suppose I'll see how I feel when the games roll around.

                            @yeahtheboys that's crazy, he's class. Aki, Harris and Henshaw might have featured more in the highlights this season, but the selectors have missed a trick here.

                                    Possibly a few who declined selection like Ben Youngs, but some very lucky boys in that squad

                                        A few surprises for me, in no particular order: Chris Harris, Elliot Daly Jack Conan, Jonny Hill, Bundee Aki.

                                        More surprises about some of those left out I guess. Sexton not a surprise for me, I'd maybe pick him for a one off game but a series, not so much. Sinckler is one that does surprise me and Tomos Williams too.
