Whilst WalesOnline talk a gargantuan pile of shit most of the time, when it comes to selection they more often than not have the inside track
Possible Lions XV v Japan:
L. Williams; A. Watson, C. Harris, R. Henshaw, L. Rees-Zammit; D. Biggar, C. Murray
W. Jones, K. Owens, T. Furlong, I. Henderson, A. W. Jones, C. Lawes, H. Watson, T. FaletauI'd start with Conan, and finish with Tipuric and Faletau
About right. I'd pick Hogg at FB and Russell ahead of Biggar. If he is in any form at all, I'd go with Itoje ahead of Lawes. Don't like that midfield. Not any arguments with the other selections.
Most of those are unavailable due to club commitments I think
Which is bizarre. International Rugby should be top of the tree, especially Lions tours which only happen once in four years.

The tour itself, absolutely. A home game against Japan designed primarily as a money making venture? Lol
These are club finals we are talking.
