    Gatland has picked his B team, due to several 'no thank yous'

    Man Neil Jenkins looks sick, I honestly wonder if he is ok?

    Terrible portraits all round

    Look like mug shots from a Guy Ritchie movie.

    Nope, he was one of the few that were written to officially to ask if they were happy to go with the 2 months in a bubble. Not gauranteed to go, but on what is a very short list

    He’s also on an even shorter list. That of father, sons/brothers to have beaten NZ.

    Has Gatland confirmed the squad size yet? I suppose that is dependent on how many games are to be played.

    If you go to the tweet itself - by clicking on the blue twitterbird in the top right corner - you can watch a clip in which they show the trophy being made.

    Some interesting selections in that article. And the original itinerary remains too.

    Yeah you do wonder if some of those are realistic selections or just there to provoke discussion.

    Alun Wyn Jones will be unveiled on Thursday (Friday NZT) as the British and Irish Lions captain of a 36-man squad to face South Africa, which is set to include England exile Sam Simmonds.

    Fat Billy to miss out to Simmonds.

    I gave up after 10 minutes - I'll read the team list later.

    Really not interested in 30 minute dialogues on what being a Lion means

    Love the BBC's comment: "And you thought Uefa could spin out a Champions League draw..."
