As if on cue....

I think that only bringing 14 Irish players and filling the rest of the spaces with the dead weight of the 13 Welsh, 8 English and 2 Scots players was a bad decision....

To be honest I only really know the strength of our guys well, so I have no idea if the other players are any good....
And like a lot of other Irish people, I must confess an ambivalence to the Lions team.....
Glad Paul O' Connell was made captain though, he is a fantastic captain, made obvious by the thrashing Munster recently gave the Ospreys!
