Opinion seems to be divided over whether Danny Cipriani should be selected for the British and Irish Lions Tour to South Africa this summer.

Danny Cipriani

It’s three weeks until Ian McGeechan names his squad to take on the Springboks, and the Scot has been hailing the fly-half’s recent performance for Wasps—where McGeechan is a coach of course.

Speaking to many knowledgeable people about whether he should travel, roughly half are in favour whilst the other half are certainly not, so what do you think?

Some say he should travel as a fly-half whilst offering cover at full-back, but others argue that with Ronan O’Gara, Stephen Jones, James Hook, Lee Byrne, Rob Kearney, and Delon Armitage, there is really no shortage of talent in these two positions.

So answer this poll and let us know what you think.
