Post your British Lions Starting 15 for the First Test

With just two games to go before the First Test against the Springboks let me know your selection for the starting 15 here are some thoughts:



Alun Wyn Jones - could he be a starter at number 6?
Paul O'Connell - could he be the first British Lions Captain not to start the first test?
Shane Williams - is the World Rugby Union player of the Year trying too hard?
Phil Vickery - can he be relied on to stay on the field?
Andrew Sheriden - or Gethin Jenkins?
Ugo Monye and Tommy Bowe - the dream wing combination?

My 15 will be posted on these pages after the game today against Western Province
