And I am aware some of the Irish players were involved in big games the week before but the point still stands for the Argentina game. Time will tell on the test sides v the Aussies but I don’t think I’ll be far wrong on my assertion that the test side will be dominated by the English. There will certainly be very little room for any Welsh or Scottish players in the test side.

Delmbeth, I know TLG is on a self imposed sabbatical and Eric has flounced, but this is not your time to be crowned King of the CCMB Pedants. They are on a different pedantry level when it comes to scoring meaningless internet points. Leave it go butty.
Oh I see, if you just meant Argentina then fair enough well at least we all learnt some lions history are on the way. Also 40% is probably more than a small token gesture, some would describe it as almost half, but yeah let's leave it there because life's too short.

Also I reckon there'll be more Irish than English in the first test team and I'll be straight back bumping the life out of this thread when that occurs
