Sweet, oh so sweet. Could have been better - Should have been better, but at least that's England disposed of. Now we just have to deal with France to meet Wales in the final weekend for an all-time classic! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Rugby - the team sport they play in heaven! When they're not sailing on the Elysian seas!! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

An interesting weekend of rugby. I certainly wouldn't want to be in Clive's shoes and have to pick a team for the Lions based on what's been on offer so far. I think it's fair to say that the level of Northern hemisphere rugby has slipped in the last 18 months and the problem is that England seem to have fallen back to the same level as the France, Ireland, and Wales. Doesn't make me too optimistic about the trip to NZ!

What players would you select in your Lions 15 and why?

Hopefully Welsh and Irish players will keep the Southern hemisphere under control next weekend!

1. G Jenkins[W]; 2. S Byrne[Ir]; 3. J White[E]
4. O'Kelly[Ir]; 5. O'Connell[Ir]
6. J White; 7. M Williams[W]
8.Corry[E]
9.Peel[W] 10.S Jones[W]
11. S Williams[W] 12. D'Arcy[Ir] 13. BO'D[Ir] 14. R Williams[W]
15. Murphy[Ir]

Picked on form. A very strong team too. Would love to see them go, unfortunately, with Sir Clive Dingbat in charge, I fear we will see too many English joining the party, and ruining it with some world class whingeing! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
