    Very late speculation that Jared Payne is in. We'll see shortly!

    The Guardian's live video coverage appears to have crashed! 🙂

    @Crucial Looks like Payne, Joseph and Te'o are all in.

    Predictable squad.

    A mercenary and only one Scot.

    Lucky: Biggar, Halfpenny, Nowell, Payne, Warburton (only because he's injured)..
    Unlucky: Launchbury, Van der Flier, Russell

    Otherwise, difficult to argue with, although that is not likely to stop me or anyone else.

    So once again - more NZ-born representatives than Scot.

    Moriarty would be the 41st player chosen I assume.

    The fun starts when the team to play the Crusaders is named.

    @Catogrande Zebo should also be on the unlucky list

    Is Hartley hard done by or actually too shit for selection?

    @raznomore copped another huge suspension this year for foul play. Deemed too risky I guess.

    A quota on the number of NZ born players?

    @KiwiMurph see hes a guy you pick just because of that. Its a huge fucken squad so they can risk it. You want a guy that is a loose cannon, a grub, but also somehow manages to get the team together. I hate Hartley but a record run and a 6N under his belt and watch warrants selection.

    @raznomore I agree. To win this series Lions I feel have to take some chances. He just captained a test series sweep in the Southern Hemisphere.
