Lions 109: Manwatu 6

It wasn't even a contest, although not suprising given that many of the hosts were only part timers. Shane Williams was man of the match and he certainly deserved it, he was everywhere. Whether finishing, supporting or creating, he was always involved. Worryingly, Woodward chose to take Robinson off early in the second half suggesting he still favours the english winger over the dazzling talent of Williams for a test place on Saturday.

The commentators also mentioned that Greenwood was rumoured to be starting outside Henson in the second test. The rumour had better just be a rumour. Greenwood was rubbish last Saturday (suprise suprise) and shouldn't even make the bench. My Lions XV for Saturdy's test would be as follows,

Forwards:
White, Thompson, Jenkins, O'Connell, O'Callaghan, Easterby, Jones, Corry/Owen

Backs:
Peel/Dawson, Wilkinson, Williams, Henson, Smith/Horgan, Thomas(c), Lewsey
