    What about Peter O'Mahony?
    Likely starter (imo), captaincy experience, proper hard bastard, etc

      @jegga he'd obviously have no chance against SBW and Elliott.

      Elliot? You mean the guy who lost to everyone's favourite NSWer Paul Gallen?

        Warburton is a done deal as captain judging by the amount of "leaked" reports on him and his injury status.

        Here's the latest from today's Telegraph

          @rotated I originally read that as Conor MacGregor and was thinking about the havoc he would wreak.

          We would need 'Waterboy Messam' on the sideline.

            That article is nearly as bad as something you'd find on "Stuff"... not a single piece of actual new information justifying the headline.

                Read today that George Kruis is expected back in action this weekend to make a late bid.

                  Yep - just with a more sensationalist headline.

                      Latest Lions rumours on the Beeb (including Launchbury and Joseph to miss out).Two days to go until all the speculation can finally stop, and the recriminations and secondguessing begin in earnest.

                        Saw that. Utterly bonkers if it turns out to be true. Gatland determined to repeat SCW's legacy.

                          Wednesday could be fun at this rate...

                          Launchbury would be an odd one, but lock is the position with most depth and I could just about see them going with a lineout caller like Kruis. JJ losing out to Jiffy Jr though would be batshit crazy.

                          Telegraph are separately confident that Sinckler has made the cut as the third TH.

                            JJ or JJ, though, you can see how that might lead to clerical errors...

                              @SimonAdd_2 Jonathan Davies has been there before and played well so I could see the logic in that selection. It's not like Gatland is picking Roberts ahead of Joseph. Or is he?

                                @Bovidae Now THAT would bet batshit crazy.

                                Im interested, if those rumours are true, does it mean Ringrose is in, or will Daly be covering 13? On form Ringrose should be close to starting..

                                  Well according to butthurt Scottish fans on a forum I get popcorn and read sometimes Hogg is the ONLY Scot who will tour ( and most probably be the test 15 ) some are suggesting Hogg should tell the Lions to get fucked and tour Oz with Scotland instead ?!?!?!?!?!

                                  They're all throwing their toys and planning on supporting the ABs and completely throwing away the proud Lions legacy that quite a few thistle wearers have been a part of.

                                    I love the recriminations bit - all the national outrage for the first 24-48 hours, then after grief and denial comes acceptance with muttered dire warnings of I told you so held in reserve until it all goes wrong in the first test as the New Zealanders run in their seventh try to the sounds of easy, easy and mexican waves rolling around Eden Park.....

                                    JJ would have stopped that sixth try, I'm telling you.....

                                      Home Nations fans should save their angst for Wednesday's announcement. There'll be enough there for some misplaced, righteous indignation.

                                        It'd be great Interweb entertainment if Roberts got in but imagine if Cuthbert did?

                                          I'm not a Home Nations fan, so I'm getting my two cents worth in now. Although, I do love the smell of righteous English indignation in the morning......
