Who would you pick for your Lions team?

I know that this is a football site, but I added this topic as a bit of fun and debate.

Lee.

isn't stevens suspended for drug abuse. Oh and I wouldn't have stringer doesn't even start for Ireland I'd take The Scottish scrum instead

Yeah you are right - sorry that one passed me by!

Stringer may be a non-starter but he is still a good scrum half and has experience like his countryman Hayes.

I'll take Stevens out and put Ross Ford of Scotland in his squad place.

Mike Blair is the Scotland scrum-half, by the way mate.

Still rate chris cusiter over Blair based on prior seasons
