Gats trolling the Sweaties and Michaels again

Post by UKHamlet »

My decision to call time on my British and Irish Lions coaching career after four tours has led to me to reflect on some great memories. During that time, I have had the honour to work with some of the greatest players these four nations have produced in the professional era.

I am often asked about my selections over the years. My decision to drop Brian O’Driscoll for our series-winning Test victory in Australia in 2013 is probably the one that attracted the most controversy and sadly led to a lot of abuse from Irish supporters even though I am proud to say that my coaching career began in Galway, first for Galwegians, Connacht and then Ireland. But there have been so many more.

It got me wondering: who would make my greatest Lions team?

Sadly uncontroversial I’m afraid. There were never going to be any Scots given he only picked a few for a laugh on the joke tour in 2021.

If he's trolling the jocks he's going to have to work harder. Struggling to think of a Scottish player from that time period who could consistently rank alongside the players he's chosen. Maybe John Barclay at his best?
