What Would The Lions Do Without Ireland?

A few debatable choices in fringe players, but none that would make difference to the starting 15 unless they get a lot of injuries before the test games. As individuals they as as good as, if not better than their SA counterparts in some cases.But they are not a team, the modern tour doesn't give them that much time to get that aspect right. That is why SA should deservedly be viewed as favourites.
