What are you talking about? Seriously. What has Anthony Foley or ROG got to do with this? And I support the same team as you, so how am I being parochial? But that's the point, isn't it? This isn't about Leinster, or Munster, or Wasps, the Opsreys or Edinburgh. It's not about Ireland, England, Scotland or Wales too. It's about the Lions. Leave your blue tinted glasses at home. The point, as downsouthdukin was rightly trying to point out is, why are we having these raging debates about who should be dropped, but when the suggestion comes about a Leinster player, it's 'laughable'. I didn't say Heaslip should be dropped, but if some people here are willing to throw other names about, then at least be objective for feck sake, and include everyone who played well below themselves, and that includes Heaslip...Oldschool wrote: It's funny and I hate bringing the L v M thing into it, but when Foley was "quiet", it was because he was doing the unseen work or pacing himself - give us a break and analyse what happened and leave your parochialism where it belongs.
With regards to some of the teams being picked here, I can where you are all coming from, but we can't keep chopping and changing the team. If we do, we're working of a virtually new back three, new half backs, new second row, new front row. How can we let combinations develop if players are being booted out? There are times when certain performances are worthy of a dropping, and two in the front row is a must. But, after that, we can't keep altering. It means there is a brand new Lions team selected each time. With the exception of inside centre, how many other changes did Ireland make throughout the 6 Nations? Stringer and Leamy both started a game, plus D'arcy/Wallace. Fewer changes in 5 matches than some people here want after one game.
