The Lions Squad - 13th October

Over a month has passed since I last tried to pick a Lions squad. As such, here's my team. Seeing as it's Heineken Cup weekend (Quins are playing Biarritz as I write this) it means that we've had the first lot of test-intensity games, so there should be some sort of idea of how players'll cope and all that. Oh, and I'm not going to look at my previous squad whilst I pick the 38 this time around, but it may be worth comparing afterwards.
