Who cares? It was the British Lions until 2001. British referring to the British Isles.

Right now the following are certainties for the first test in my opinion; Adam Jones, Mako Vunipola, Alun Wyn Jones, Jamie Heaslip, George North, Jamie Roberts, BOD, Alex Cuthbert and Leigh Halfpenny.
There hasn't been a distinguished performance by any hooker to date. As for the second rows, Richie Gray has really grabbed his chances in my opinion and it will be a tight call between him and O'Connell. Each and every player in the back row has been tremendous, so much so that right now Sam Warburton wouldn't be in my Test 23. I'd be inclined to opt for O'Brien or Croft with Tipuric and Heaslip at the moment.
Another tough area is Scrum Half, with all three nines having again performed brilliantly when given the opportunity. 10 is another shift that is difficult for all the wrong reasons, with Hogg playing so well there Tuesday who knows if he can steal it. The centres and back three have been nailed on for the last six months now. No changes there.

AW Jones was excellent I thought.
