I've just had a look at the Sky team for the Lions series:

Sam Warburton (male)
Bryan Habana (male)
Ronan O Gara (male)
Will Greenwood (male)
Sir Ian McGeechan (male)
Nigel Owens (male)
Scott Quinnell (male)
Maggie Alphonsi (female)

How anybody can look at that lineup and their only takeaway is a moan about one woman being there is beyond me
she's not a lion because there IS no Lions women's team. if there had been one when she was playing then she would definitely have been in it.
