2013 British And Irish Lions Tour To Australia.

[Tiercel 6,986]

There were a few that really put their hands up today. Tom youngs, Jamie Roberts (as long as his ankle is ok)1/2p, Foxy and Heislip all done their cause a power of good. On the other hand some of the front row replacments were woeful, Hibbard especially.

Croft had a solid game and Warburton worked had and did a lot of hard work, AWJ worked his socks off but man of the match for me was Jonathan Davies, ran some great angles and his all round game was real good, Zebo really put his hand up today too. I didn't think Heaslip played as well has he has on tour so far tbh.

 

The pack that started the game is probably not far off test team, the only change I'd make at this time is maybe at 8 as that is still real close to call but the rest of the pack were on there game today though.

Still don't think Zebo is a scratch on north and Alex that first try he had the ball in the wrong hand should of finished it

Yeh he should've finished it Ow, though I think I'd start with him and Cuthbert at the moment with North(doubtful) and Bowe out of the first test tbh. Maitland had a chance today to push for a test spot on the wing but his defence was poor again today.

 

Todays game was a step up in intensity and the Lions showed some good stuff, they did look a little dis-jointed when they made all them subs though.

[Wales1234 5,546]

Maitlands defence was very poor got stood up a few times hope for god sake George north is fit and Jamie Roberts but Jonathan Davies was very good today but o'driscol is going to start

[gonetoearth 5,144]

thats a some win that ,be a shame if its mates on a windup

. Flew out yesterday and he aint a rugby fan. And took his bird.

[gonetoearth 5,144]

And the wallas. Just sit back and watch us get injury after injury. Come the first test. We will pay.

Pretty much pick the Test team from todays 22 IMO. Bar the odd 1 or 2. Maitland is a no no. As is Zebo. Front row all did well, Second row is a shoe in. Maybe a back row change but other than that i think thats it for next week.

So you wouldn't have BOD or Manu involved in the first test then?

You have to remember that J Davies plays 12 for the Scarlets so if either Roberts or Manu are not involved in the first test I'd imagine they'll go For Davies at 12 and BOD at 13, I can't see Twelvetrees being involved in the test 23, not had any game time yet and even if he plays minutes on tuesday I can't see him getting in the test squad.

[Tiercel 6,986]

36 has played at 10 as well as 12 and 13 for Gloucester so he is another Hook without covering 15.

BOD may get a game, but who does he replace ?? My backs would be Phillips, Sexton, Roberts, Davies, North, 1/2 penny and ........Errrmm not sure. Maybe 1/2 penny on the wing with Kearney at full back.

 

Looks very Welsh, so why upset that with BOD ?? He could make the bench though.

 

 

I wouldn't pick Tuilagi, too one dimensional for me.

 

 

Injurys may yet make someones tour.

All I could see was that he was a bigger girls blouse than North when tackling, those XXXX swilling Ossies don't do pattercake.

Christian Wade and Brad Barritt called up to the tour now. :hmm:

 

Does that mean that Roberts and North's injuries are worse than first thought?
