Former British & Irish Lions captains Brian O'Driscoll and Gavin Hastings have called on players and fans to put their nationalities to one side and get behind Warren Gatland's men.
Noble sentiments from an Irishman and a Scot but some resentment remains after Gatland's April 19 naming of a 41-man squad.
While Irish supporters may have hoped for two or three more inclusions - Donnacha Ryan, Garry Ringrose, Keith Earls and Simon Zebo all had good cases - fans from the other three nations have cult heroes and genuine contenders of their own.
Gatland is taking part in a Twitter Q&A with Lions sponsors Standard Life this evening and fans are being encouraged to send questions along with the #AskWarren hashtag.
Two questions keep cropping up, and cropping up again. We wonder what Gatland will make of it all...
Why so many Welsh?
