I think nobody would have argued with the choice of Jones before the Test. O'Gara has struggled for form all season, despite the Six Nations win. I live with two Irish lads who are big into their Union, and they said exactly that.

O'Gara's performance on Tuesday was good though. To be honest, I'd have James Hook at 10 next week if he's fit. He's set to play on Tuesday against the emerging boks.

Roberts and O'Driscoll were immense yesterday.

I think the Lions need to find a way to nullify the threat of Steyn at full back. His kicking killed them, if that means giving Habana and Pietesen the chance to run, so be it.

Other changes - think his name is Jones? the curly haired welsh prop. Either him or Sheridan in.

Monye out - Fitzgerald in. If Williams has a good game on Tuesday though, I'd gamble on him. He's not the World Player of the year for nothing.

I'd maybe drop Jamie Heaslip too.

Top game yesterday, thoroughly enjoyed it. Lions will be kicking themselves, they could have scored maybe 5 tries.

For the umpteenth time on this website, I have to remind somebody that RL and RU are 2 completely different sports, which cannot be compared, because the complexities and skills of each are, mainly, different....It is like trying to compare Test cricket with 20-20 cricket.

In each case, both sports (RL & RU) have their positives and negatives over each other....Don't try to fool yourself that RL is some type of 'super' sport...watch Huddersfield v Cas from Friday night, and try to convince a neutral that RL is entertaining.

Yes, running with a ball can be entertaining and skilful, but if you think kicking is as boring and as simple as you reckon, you should watch Jonny Wilkinson's winning drop kick from the '03 World Cup final and then try to tell me that kicking makes for dramaless, dull sport...






How can I miss you, if you won't go away????
