Team just announced

Oh Dear 

[stmichael]

British & Irish Lions: Jason Robinson; Josh Lewsey, Brian O'Driscoll (captain), Jonny Wilkinson, Gareth Thomas; Stephen Jones, Dwayne Peel; Gethin Jenkins, Shane Byrne, Julian White, Paul O'Connell, Ben Kay, Richard Hill, Neil Back, Martin Corry (vice-captain).
Replacements: Steve Thompson, Graham Rowntree, Danny Grewcock, Ryan Jones, Matt Dawson, Will Greenwood, Shane Horgan.


I know Woodward likes to be loyal to certain players but this is ridiculous. Jason Robinson? The guy's hardly played on this tour. Lewsey is the best full back bar none and he's stuck out on the wing. Geordan Murphy should be in on the wing with Lewsey at full back. Wilko at 12 is a gamble but I suppose he provides another kicking option and an extra physical presence in defence.

Interesting team to say the least.

Lewsey will play fullback and Robinson on the wing I think St mick. As you said Lewsey is the best full back going round.

Henson not in the sqaud???

looks like Lewsey will be on the wing after all ,wtf!?!?!?

The only game plan I can think of is bulk up from 10 -13 and use them to pass and creat angled running for the back three who are good and do look for work.

Hill I think is lucky and Corry as Easterby and Ryan Jones have easily outshone them.

Back is one ugly fool but still class.

The front five sort of pick themselves

I am bemused by the team as he said those in form, but now its those with experience matter.  I hope we win and think we can with that team but bad games from those who havent turned up yet and the backlash will be fierce for Sir Clive. 

The official line is Henson could be suspect in defence as Wales play a different defensive game to England  WTF.  I thought tackling someone was the same in any language
