Luckily for you, you'll find out next week. 

A good Manchester boy Cyril - all you need to know.

And yet there are posters on here suggesting without apparent irony that they'll provide more than a quarter of the squad. It's a rather touching display of faith but seems somewhat unrealistic to me.

It was far funnier 4 years ago when certain posters were insisting that the majority of Lions were Welsh after the squad had been announced. They are the best at being Donald Trump.

He is quite unique amongst the current crop of backrow forwards.

He is unbelievably strong, but his body doesn't look like it should be able to do the things it does.
