Bradbury has only recently turned 21 and is 6 foot 4 easily - possibly taller. He needs another stone on him but the weight is pretty much irrelevant at this stage in his career.
Small. Get to f*ck.

Just checked. He is 6ft 4 and 17stone 12. Looks lighter to be far.

Correct as far as I can tell, I do think he was good enough to get capped, remember at the time we had Cloud, Kellock and not a lot else, Richie Grey wasn't on the scene yet and Hines had also just retired

Hines came back to play for Hadden did he not? I thought he fell out with Williams. Murray had just retired IIRC.
We had no real depth though; Hamilton,Hines, Kellock, McLeod and White played the odd game there at club level, not sure if he did at international level.

5 caps
Played RG 2 , SA 1, NZ 1 and Canda
Won 3 lost 2
According to his wikipedia article he still plays for Edinburgh rugby
Poor show that he can't be bothered to update his own entry

Is that what Kellock had his head in at every ruck?

I don't beleive for a second that Bradbury is nearly 18 stone. Rugby seems to be going a bit like WWF in embellishing all these guys' physical stats.
That's not meant to be a sleight on Bradbury. He actually looks weirdly similar to a young James Haskell, who then stacked muscles on until he loat absolutely all mobility. Hopefully Bradbury bulks up but keeps a bit more balance to it.

You shouldn't update your own wiki, it's a conflict of interest. In fact I'm fairly sure they have a page on it.

Brian Moore now calling out Davies as well about backs play.
If only we didn't have Nicol who is as bad.

I know it's only Georgia but both Gray boys, Seymour and Hogg put in good claims today. I still think Hogg needs to have a solid 6N from a defensive POV to convince Gatland that he's worthy of a test spot instead of a mid week place.
Ford was also very good but unless he plays like that against the big boys consistently he won't be anywhere near the party.

Saw this stat on Jonny Gray.
Incredibly, Jonny Gray has not missed a tackle in 750 minutes of test rugby.
If that's true then that is amazing.

Id be very surprised is Jonny didnt go. I think Richie is worthy of a place too. To be fair I wouldnt want to be pickingg which second rows to leave out this year though

I'd rather have Dylan Hartley than Ford and thats saying something.
Jonny G had better go or I'll be very annoyed - unless he has a very bizarre collapse of form. I think I'd take him, Henderson, Itoje and Launchbury. Devin Toner has been quietly excellent as well, so I might take him too, given both Itoje and henderson could be pretty comfortable at 6.

I don't think anyone has suggested Ford for the Lions, have they? He wouldn't even get picked for Scotland if we had any decent alternatives.

How is that a suggestion on my part? I know Ford won't perform that way against the big teams therefore he will be nowhere near the touring party...
He was superb on the weekend but it's only Georgia.

Unless Ford has 5 games like how he played against Georgia and Scotland win the 6N he will not be a Lions tourist.
I don't see that happening
