Really? Well done... TBH, I'm surprised (we have often been so good!)

I reckon we could well have 3 starters and 1 (Cawdor) on the bench for the first test.

If Liam Williams plays all 3 tests. He will have played as many test games for the Lions, as he has made appearances for us this year.

😂😂😂 Will be an interesting battle between him and Hogg for 15 shirt. SA love a box kick/high ball, which Liam has the edge over Hoggy. But Hoggy is electric ball in hand.

2 big surprises for me:
1. No Sinckler 2. Aki in!? Thought Foxy would have been there on reputation as Gatland has been quite loyal in the past. Perhaps he'll get his head down and start performing in the Scarlet jersey now.

I think it looks like any close call that had to be made, Gatland has gone with size/power over craft/skill.
I feel sorry for Foxy. I thought he'd make it as he always tends to perform in the biggest games even when he's not looked great prior.

Mad to think the club that contributes the most players to the Lions in 2021 is a championship club. Saracens 5 Leinster 4 Exeter 4 Scarlets 4 Edinburgh 3 Munster 2 Ospreys 2 Bath 2 Gloucester 2 Glasgow 2 Northampton 2 Sale 1 Ulster 1 Connacht 1 Cardiff 1 Racing 1 When you look at those top 4 teams teams were in good company |

Weakest areas are probably the centres and half backs. Navidi unluckiets man to miss out..The rest mostly picks itself. Boks look slight faves to me
