It’s one of the hottest debate topics egg-chasing has to offer.
Given we live in something of a green goldfish bowl on these Irish shores, there’s no harm getting input from elsewhere. And so we have the HarpinOnRugby Lions Selector Panel, made up of one fan from each nation, with even the Irish panellist based abroad.
This week it’s the turn of our Scottish panellist Kirsten Bruce. Click here to see how her latest choices affect the overall panel’s selection.
ITS LIONS RUGBY YEAR! Exciting times!
I’ve been reading so many articles about who is likely to get a spot on the tour – but who really knows – besides Gatland?! Stories about Nathan Hines and Jonny Wilkinson being possibilities…I just don’t see that being a good decision. They made their choice to retire – in my eyes that means they took themselves out of the running.
A few (controversial) changes to my Lions team this month…I like to keep you readers on your toes! Johnnie Beattie is in as he has been playing amazing for Montpellier, and has been re-included in the Scotland Six Nations squad. Peter O’Mahony has also been impressive for Munster.

I’m Kirsten. Some who read this may follow me on twitter (@kirstenbruce_02). I’m a big Scotland supporter, so apologies if I am a little bit biased. Also, big thanks to Jeff (@HarpinOnRugby) for allowing me to be involved – it’s sure to be challenging but a great experience!
