Even more concerning when Robert, Tuigali and Davies will be running down that channel all day

Or that Mowen was having a rest and they needed someone to call the lineout?

This straight from SMH I think the two scenarios are: A) 6:2 bench with JOC (James O'Connor) to cover centres B) Using dual opensides with Hooper & Smith I think scenario A is most likely..... and hope to god AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) doesn't get crooked!! (touching wood now)[/

Thinking about it, the Lions may give away the assendancy at the breakdown they enjoyed last week with BOD, Warburton and Vunipola in the run on side. I would start Smith to tip the ground war scales in our favour....

A lot more ball carrying options in that forward pack with O'Brien, Faletau & Hibbard. Maybe they intend on playing more football this week?

This official?

I'd imagine the likely replacement situation would be to replace Palu? a) Palu's effective workrate decreases in the last 20 - supported by stats b) If anything lineout possession in the later stages of the game is critical - Gill Match 2; Harrison 2001.

Wouldn't make sense to me..... Mowen is the line out caller and the main target.

Graeme Mew is a British citizen. Can IRB appoint judicial officer from country that benefits from decision? #JUSTICEforHORWILL

I was speaking t an Irish mate last night about exactly this. He believes regardless of the outcome the Australians will be incensed and will galvanise as a team as a result. I hope he is right. He hopes he is wrong. Bring it on.

Depends on how you define 'injustice' or indeed for whom the injustice has been caused. I'm sure the BIL would argue that injustice has already been served with Horwill getting off. I for one think this whole thing has turned into a fucking debacle.

who? ;)

Huge congratulations to Ben Alexander for winning his 50th Wallabies Cap this weekend. Huge achievement.

What word? Any indication of what the backline will look like?

Without O'Connell and Corbisiero the Lion's pack looks far less menacing come set piece time. For my mind O'Connell was the spiritual leader of the Lion's forward pack and one of their best players on tour. St Sam is going to have to step it up a notch this weekend with O'Connell out. I expect...

Holy crap..... you just brought back nightmares from year 8 Religious Education.

I agree with this albeit with the exception of Cummins in for Tomane. I think Cummins is the best like-for-like candidate we have for Digby. A hard running, abrasive runner that has a penchant for contact. Plus when he wears gold he knows how to sniff out a white line better than a Beagle at...
