As regular contributors to The Rugby Blog here at WhatIsRugby.com, Josh and I often debate back and forth the merits (or lack there of) of the prevailing match, tournament, new player, or really any piece of minutia even remotely related to rugby. We usually do this online or at the pub, or in the comments after one of us has published an new blog article. However, we make history this year by releasing our 2009 Lions selections. We've waited until the very last minute (the official squad is announced in less than 24 hours) so that we can claim to be the final Lions predictions for the 2009 Tour. That's not something you hear every day! We've prefaced our selections with a little point-counterpoint to whet the appetite and put our selections in perspective. Enjoy!
