Sky Sports picks Lions Team, Scots included shocker

Stuart Barnes and Dewi Morris both picked their hypothetical Lions teams (if the match was played now not in 2009) on the Rugby Club this week, with a small Scottish contingent. Barnes picked Hines at 4 and Rory Lamont at 14, with Blair and Hogg on the bench, while Morris went for Blair and Hines on the bench and no-one in his starting XV. Myself, it would probably go something like this, fitness allowing:

Sheridan
Mears
Jenkins
Hines
O’ Callaghan
Strokosch
M. Williams
R Jones
Blair
Cipriani
S. Williams
Henson
O’ Driscoll/Shanklin
R Lamont
Murphy/Kearney

Bench: Stevens, Bennett, O’Connell/Gough/Wyn Jones (take your pick!), Haskell or Hogg, Phillips, Hook, Tait

Also, congrats to all the guys who whooped me in Six Nations Fantasy Rugby, shows what I know eh? Big shout out to Pedro who finished 3rd in the mini league.
