Irishmen & Englishmen agree about something. Frame it, :) Seriously though, the appointment of Andy Farrell unites English, Scottish, Irish and at least three Welsh fans

@@pauldavies7251 Just a joke 🙂. I went on tour with the Lions in 2013. Best 4 weeks ever. Brilliant craic with all the fans. I did learn though that the travelling Welsh fans really did think that Lions teams should always be 2/3rds Welsh at a.minimum !

Whenever Sir Ian McGeechan talks it gives me goosebumps and gets me fired for the lions. I cant imagine what it would have been like for a player to have him as your lions coach. I think big Faz will have the same effect. 😁

Faz of course was the obvious choice for the Lions' Head Coach, interested to see who he selects for the rest of the coaching team. My personal pick for Captain would be Jac Morgan. Thank you for the mini-tribute to JPR.

Geech talking about JPR, you can see how much he meant to him. Great choice for coach and I'm pretty sure even us Welsh would agree. He has experience from two previous tours, knows what it will take to win and that there will be hard and unpopular choices to make. All the players know that they now have 12 months to put their hands up, it's going to be epic.

I would pick Owen Farrell as captain, this will be his fourth tour with the lions so knows what it's all about. Also he is well respected through out world rugby as a great leader on and off the pitch. This will be controversial among others.

All of those captains above have or had great leaders around them when they were captains of their national side and lions.Where as Owen has had mostly mediocre players at national level but still seems to get the best out of them, Even some of the greatest lions captains (Johnson Mcbride) have said being a captain was easy because of the leaders they had around them. That's my opinion and I am sticking to it. I will be in Australia to see a complete white wash. @@mcsnapples
