I'm looking for a fringes or higher waratah in that list Absent Friend, but I see nothing.

No Phillips at all is a mistake by the Lions. Sure, he was outdone by Genia at Suncorp but when you ask "Who is the greatest HB in the British Isles?" Phillips is the one who comes to mind.

SANZAR and the IRB have been trying to completely shut down anything that looks like a tip tackle for years now. Lachie Mitchell was just the poor guy who was made an example of this time around.

While 99% of my rugby focus is on the Lions tour, let's not forget that if some of these games go our way we could have a grand final in Australia!

3. Genia 2. Folau 1. Mowen

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) has a brace for the shoulder, says it's good but also said "hope to be right for saturday". Lealiifano was up and right this morning according to Digby.

Hugh Pyle, Peter Kimlin, Sam Carter or Hugh McMeniman.

Wallabies forward pack will be unchanged, everyone did what was expected of them and parity was the worst they got. (Unless of course Horwill gets suspended, which he may well). Backline will see a major reshuffle. Expecting AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Barnes and McCabe to be out next week. May well be Genia Beale...

Don't drink tonight Kurtley and you are starting next week.

The guy played every minute of the world cup and I've only ever seen him come off for injuries keeping him out for a month or more. If he came off I'd say it's bad enough to say he's out.

Expect McCabe, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Barnes to be out next week. Palu was rather ineffective and may well be dropped. Lineup next week may well be Robinson, Moore, Alexander, Douglas, Horwill, Kimlin, Hooper, Mowen, Genia, Beale, Ioane, Lealiifano, Horne, O'Connor, Folau With the bench being Fainga'a, Kepu...

South Africa Willie le Roux; Bryan Habana, JJ Engelbrecht, Jean de Villiers (capt) or Jan Serfontein, Bjorn Basson; Morne Steyn, Ruan Pienaar; Pierre Spies, Willem Alberts or Siya Kolisi, Francois Louw; Flip van der Merwe, Eben Etzebeth; Jannie du Plessis, Adriaan Strauss, Tendai Mtawarira...

If we don't suffer any more injuries, we have Alexander, Sio and Smith as props and that isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination. If we do, however, we only have two props.
