British and Irish lions chat

i was trying to get there butt , was working on it last year but my boss was having none of it ie me changing my leave dates. ah well il just enjoy as long as i got a pint butt im happy

Well what a game! Before the start I bet that the Lions would win by 3 points and Martyn Williams would come off the bench to score the winning try...how wrong could I be?
Dil, you can watch the game on-line even in Canada.

Keith 38: I'm going to agree with you about Vickery he's past it but Sheridan is not the answer he's been penalised for the same incorrect binding during this tour so the words out English props cannot scrum under these rules.

It's got to be an all Welsh front row next Saturday from the start. I would make one change from the start in the back row...Martyn Williams to start.
The backs did well despite dropping 4 try scoring opportunities Kearney has to start at full-back as Byrne is injured and I would have Hook on the bench.

There must be enough here for some one to disagree with me!

Paul i think every body agrees on the right lines,but against the beast you need strength not a tactical prop,and i think Sheridan answers the call.

I think they should re-call Will 38

not with my knees and hips Dil:tongue:

Well it looks like Sheridan is out anyway,but i think Adam jones is better as an impact prop,,last 35 minutes or so as i dont think he has the fitness levels or strength to go the full 80,especially at altitude,they have just flown the irish prop in get him and mears and gethin jenkins for the first half then bring on Adam jones and the welsh hooker for the rest,M williams is a must as Wallace was found wanting at the breakdown,,i think that they may play S williams against the emerging boks tuesday hoping he sparkles so he can be selected for the 2nd test,start with Stephen Jones as no 10 and have Hook on the bench to get the centres running at the boks in the 2nd half,,,and then hope to god that same ref doesnt turn up again,,anyway thats my three pennyworth:tongue:

got to agree with dai 55s here guys the beast has improved 10 fold the last 2 seasons, and i think who ever comes up against him is going to struggle, its not just his explosive power on the hit its his tecnique, although he should have been penalised a few times for boring in i think. Im sure the ex props out there have their own views.

Cheers Sox,old mates always stick together,anyway guys,what changes do you really think will be made Saturday.
Adam Jones will come in tight head,Matthew Rees hooker,i think Simon Shaw or Nathan hines might come in second row add a bit more beef,and in the backs,one change Shane Williams if he plays well Tuesday will replace moyne on the left wing.
Whoever gets the closest can have a nice night out with big Winnie from Warminster,seen her the other day she is only 27 stone now,and looking good.

Well its in Shane's hands as if he does not perform this week it could go to K Earls another speedster as Moyne seemed to panic making poor decisions and spoiling possible point scoring situations, but the changes in the 2nd half change the tempo and we started to take the game to the Bok's Roberts and O Driscoll were threatening throughout the game and the pace/quick ball Phillips maintained clearly put the Bok's under pressure!

Baring injuries Shane may play a part?

So lets have a win for the Red Dragon Old Boys in the sun!

PS who were those 2 borders in the crowd? I am sure it was Scooby lol

I've got a feeling the following changes MAY be made...Welsh front row starting, shaw in at second row for power,Martin Williams possibly in,Kearney in, Shane Willaims in and Hook on the bench. Just a few possibles?
