Best thing about Pollock's selection is how we all know the thin-skinned Aussie press is going to react to this walking personification of floppy-haired posh-schoolboy English-arrogance

Yep. I find it hard to say for sure he’s more deserving or proven than Baird, Wainright, Ritchie or Ben Curry, but he’s a perfect wildcard and could be a great counter to a Swain or Wright or whichever chippie Aussies are around.

Hee - I hadn't thought of that, but you're absolutely right. He's gonna drive them **spare**.

Conan didn’t exactly strike me as dominant in the previous Lions series and I rather fear Farrell bought into exactly that
