I saw this but it makes me wonder, which Scotland, Wales or Ireland players would oust any of the England players to form GB? Can't think of any to be honest!

Who knows who will have come through by then. Could see Regan Grace making the squad though based on early potential.

Hopefully he does because he's lightning quick, I just hope he doesn't turn into another Kevin Penny

How about Tyson Frizell? He's Welsh, isn't he?

It'll be good to have tours instead of 4 nations but I can't see many from outside of England making the GB squad. That said it's a hell of an incentive to get stuck in!!

Danny Brough? Ben Flower if he reclaims his 2013 form?

It doesn't matter if the team is full of 17 Englishmen. It isn't really about the team. It is about the brand and the marketing potential that a Lions team and tour brings. As much as I dislike the code we need to piggyback off the success, excitement and media attention a British Lions Union tour generates.

I would hope that whoever is the coach isn't the English national team coach.

in front of burgess's graham or hill?

Maybe as a big back rower a-la Morley, particularly if we get an injury or two. It worked well in 2013 when he moved to loose, he's just needed more at prop for Wigan

He was.

Pretty sure he scored for the Aussies against NZ in the last test though.

He was born in Australia, but his Dad is Welsh. Played for the Aussies in the 4 Nations though, so that ship has sailed.

Pretty sure we could come up with some Aussies that have Scottish, Irish or Welsh Grandparents to bolster the team. Wayne Bennett seemed happy enough with his journeymen NRL players in the Samoa test, picking them ahead of Liam Farrell, for example. We could just go the whole hog and pick a team and a coach exclusively from the NRL.

International Rugby really is a joke. I see Ben T'eo (born in NZ, played for Samoa at RL then Queensland, then selected in an Australia squad, but didn't play and also represents England at Union) has been selected for the Lions!!!

Do you think the £22,000 per game eased his transition to being a proud Englishman?
