You must be joking Sir Clive
The Lions team who are to face New Zealand on Saturday was announced this morning. Can't say I 'm too suprised by the selection, Clive has stuck with what he knows best. Unfortunatley, I think he's overlooked some cracking talent in the process. Why on earth is Jonny Wilkinson playing at inside centre, Umanga is going to eat him alive. Nothing about Wilkinson's game has looked awesome, whereas players like Henson and Shanklin have really shown promise. And Robinson back at full back? Josh Lewsey has been excellent in that position, why give it to Robinson who has had a bad season and looked pretty average in the one Lion's game he played. I think putting either Shanklin or Williams on the wing and Lewsey at full back would be much better selection. I know everyone thinks that Shane is too small, but it didn't bother him when he devestated the All Blacks defence in both the World Cup and the Autumn tour. Anyway, enough of the ranting, Clive has made his decision and I just hope the boys can pull it off. COME ON THE LIONS!
