Though you might like that. On another hand i cannot believe i got Elsom & Betson in one pick, well happy with that combo.

Hopefully I can pick up another big prop to complement it, have a couple in mind.

I'm beginning to struggle now. The number of my choices picked in the last round was scandalous.
But I bet that John Smit would enjoy having WJ McBride, O'Connell and Harinod as his lineout options.

Think you could be right there, Robinson thanks him for putting him on the straight and narrow/turning him into a God botherer!

Yeah, good to see Tom Smith get picked, I tried to find the Telfer quote about him during the Lions 97 selection process but couldn't see it anywhere. Great how the Saffers had the biggest, baddest pack around and our 'little' props did a job on them.

Nice to see wee Tom Smith get picked.

He was a monster for the Lions in 97 and 2001.  Thought he would have come about before the bottom of the 8th round to be honest.
