Normally it's the A team that's sent on tour during Lions year though so no senior caps are awarded. In 2009 it was the Scotland A, Ireland Wolfhounds and England Saxons that were sent to the US.

Pocock is definitely a superb player to sign, no doubt about that. What will be very interesting though is how he will fit in with the Brumbies team that have been built on the basis of being an effective until rather than on the back of star players. On the captaincy issue. Mowen is doing a...

Always had great respect for Henry but since he's left the ABs it's taken a nosedive with the stuff he's been saying.

Sharks deserved the win. Stormers defence wasn't up to the standards they've set all season. Especially for the Ludik try. They seemed to run out of ideas when they were chasing the game late on and Sharks looked comfortable in defence in the last few minutes. Thought JP Pietersen had an...

They were advertising the tour early on Sky Sports this morning during the broadcast for the Chiefs v Saders game. Showed a montage from past Lions tours, got me really excited until I remembered there's a whole year to go.

Still the result of the white card incident to come during the week too.

Great game Chiefs did well to hang on. That double movement try was a big difference on the scoreboard, but who's to say they wouldn't have scored from another opportunity if it wasn't awarded. They kept the Saders out in the end and dug deep to drive them back and cause the error. Saders...

All the way back in their own half now. 20 odds phases and they knock on. Chiefs in the final 20-17.

Chiefs driving them back we're into the red numbers.

Saders have had overlaps on the right wing a couple of times but been to slow to move it out. Same happened again as they took it into contact. Saders have worked to within 25 meters. Carter is in the pocket for a DG attempt.

Bit of a stop in play for an injury. Chance for the captains to have a bit of a talk and inspire the troops.

Chiefs need to get out of their own half from this scrum. 3 points in it 2 minutes to go.

Was about to say Chiefs are looking a little tentative as if players are afraid of making the mistake that loses it. Then in comes a huge hit from them by Retallik. But penalty awarded to Saders. Carter scoops the penalty form 45m and because of that it falls short.

Chiefs go early and scrum turned over, put in to Saders. Is this their chance?

Nani Williams with a risky pass in midfield. If it came off SBW was in behind the Saders. However Carter got a hand out and knocked it on. Could have been a costly intercept. Scrum to Chiefs on halfway.

Are the Chiefs starting to tire now? Ellis spent a good 5 seconds just standing with ball in hand while he figured what to do, but the Chiefs players just stood and watched, eventually the clear down field.

Cruden hits the underside for the crossbar with the penalty from 55m. Saders have been sloppy tonight but Chiefs aren't punishing their mistakes. Still a 3 point game.

Chiefs turn it over and kick up to halfway. Could have been a penalty for a block on the kicker but they do get one from a ruck. Chiefs debating if it's in range for Cruden. Important decision.

Chiefs get into the Saders 22m and immediately turnover the ball. Fruen with a great run and offload brings play up to the Saders 22m line. Saders win a penalty from a subsequent ruck. Carter puts them down the line on into the Chiefs 22.

Carter bisects the posts with a penalty. 20-17 Chiefs looks the better team but it's the Saders putting the points on the board. Get the feeling if the Saders get a head they could pull away from the Chiefs. Ellis just put a box kick out on the full. Lineout to Chiefs about 30ms out.
