Lions Selector Panel–6th Round (SCO)

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.

It’s that time of the year (the best time of the year). The Six Nations tournament! It’s only been the first two weeks, but it has been so exciting! Scotland actually won a match, and France – well, I don’t actually know what’s wrong with them!

It’s hotting up in terms of Lions selection too. Simon Zebo and Stuart Hogg have been the stand out players for me. I feel there are quite a few changes to my Lions XV, mainly due to injury or form.

1. Ryan Grant

2. Ross Ford

3. Euan Murray

4. Geoff Parling

5. Richie Gray

6. Justin Tipuric

7. Chris Robshaw

8. Johnnie Beattie

9. Danny Care

10. Owen Farrell

11. Tim Visser

12. Manu Tuilagi

13. BOD

14. George North

15. Stuart Hogg

16. Rory Best

17. Gethin Jenkins   18. Dan Cole   19. Ian Evans   20. Sean O’Brien   21. Mike Phillips   22. Jonathan Sexton   23. Leigh Halfpenny

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!
