If you're looking for the form 6 then look at the last international games. Croft was nothing, O'Brien was nothing and Lydiate didn't even play. Selecting anyone other than Tipuric and Waburton as your flankers is nonsensical to me.
Out of interest, who would your captain be? My pick before the tour was Rory Best. I thought he was a definite starter for the tests. Performs every game for Ireland and seems to be someone others look to.
After seeing a Gatland interview I really thought he would include Wade, shame. Whilst he doesn't deserve a spot it would have been amazing to see him out there.
Haven't read the comments so apologies if there's repetition.
My thoughts:
Zebo for Bowe.
Wilkinson for Farrell.
Care for Phillips.
Laidlaw for Murray.
Any prop eligible to play for Stevens.
Best for Hartley.
Lawes for Gray.
Hamilton for O'Connell.
Robshaw for Croft.
Beattie for Lydiate.
Morgan for Heaslip.
Tom Croft's brilliant try and try-saving tackle against Harlequins

Prop Coenie Oosthuizen's knockout run and two tries vs the Hurricanes
Bloody hell . The intensity of super rugby really is worlds apart from anything we see in the aviva or rabo.

Elliot Daly clearance kick lands straight in the bin
I fail to see how Lancaster thinks twelvetrees has more to offer than this guy. Him and Manu would be devastating together.

Why does possession of the ball have any relevance?

Dimitri Yachvili forgets he's playing rugby, backheels pass for Erik Lund try
Almost certain I read that somewhere. Although there is a chance I'm talking out my arse.
