On current form I'd say yes. Let's not get carried away. Rhys had a shocker today. Although it was excellent management by Gatland to keep him on when the whole of Wales was shouting for Stevo to come on. OK, bar Rhys who didn't have a great game today - the others are IMO the best in GB & I in their positions at the moment and must be shoe-ins for a Lions test spot.   As far as FH goes, there is Sexton and O'Gara in Ireland and Farrell for England, there is no one else to rival Rhys appart from these players for the Lions.    The only draw back is will 1/2p make the Lions squad as a FB, otherwise they may go for a 10 who's a better place kicker than Rhys.

To answer the second Q first - on current form, 1/2p is the best 15 in the 6N and is certain to be picked there in the Lions squad (barring injury).

O'Gara will surely be considered too old for the next Lions tour. The other three will be in the frame - Rhys should be first choice if he plays to his best (not like Saturday!). It'll depend on their form next season.

There's no guarantee that he'll be England's 10 when Flood is back fully fit. He's only had one test at 10 so far!
