Re: British and Irish Lions Tour 2009

hi pie , great to see you , i've not posted much about my previous bets , my bet lost on saturday as i was on the Lions -15 , looked good with only 20 minutes gone , then they suffered that sin-binning which changed the game , Lions looked poor after that.

I agree with you about Shane , he has not looked himself this season since getting award "world best player" , he's being given plenty of chances to prove himself .
It is only Bowe that has looked decent onthe wing , the other options have only been average , I was expecting them to experiment with Roberts on the wing but it looks as if they have decided on Roberts /O'Driscoll as centre pairings.
I was wondering how the transistion from the saturday to wednesday side would be made...looks like they are not going tobother with that , my test team would be:
front row ...jenkins , mears , vickery
second row...o'connell, hines or jones [ i prefer jones but it could be my welsh bias showing here ]
back row ...wallace , heaslip , ferris ,
s.h. and o.h....phillips and jones
centres ...roberts and o'driscoll
wings ... bowe and kearney[ or they could play byrne here , wednesday may give us a clue when they sub the backs]
f.b. ...byrne

i'll be going on the lions -15 with bet365

i still think that South Africa will win the series 3-0
