British Lions Squad...
16 from England
12 from Wales
11 from Ireland
and a miserly 2 from Scotland
Are Scotland really 9/10 players worse than Ireland and Wales ?
Scotland beat both Ireland and Wales! And they weren't even that bad against England - they scored three tries, and should have had more. Shocking squad from Gatland - apparently he couldn't even
name any Scottish players apart from Hogg when asked in an interview which ones he might take. He mentioned a 'wing' (Tommy Seymour) and a new lad at centre (Huw Jones) - no-one else.
Greig Laidlaw, if fit, would be on the plane for me. There's no reason for Jonny Gray to suddenly be forgotten about after the England game. Finn Russell has brought more to the table than Dan Biggar in the 6N. And Hamish Watson has certainly done enough for me to be on the tour.
And yet Gatland gives four players who have barely played a full game this 6N - Kyle Sinckler, Jamie George (who still doesn't have a Test start under his belt), Iain Henderson and Jared Payne (the latter two purely because of
one performance, against England) tour berths? Shocking. Warren Gatland, you have lost all credibility for me.
