if you want to pick an experienced Fly Half jpb why not take Jonny Wilkinson?

I don't see it as taking 1 really experienced fly half, I see it more as not taking any novice fly halves. all your trousits need to be capable of starting a test match, and there's no way i'd want my starting 10 to have had only 1 or 2 test matches. it wouldn't bother me if wilkonson went but I haven't seen him play for ages. I think flood's decent. doesn't let anyone down.

there were 3 pundits' Lions 15s in the Telegraph today.

The only 2 players all 3 picked were Phillips and O'Driscoll
