Sharks v Lions

I'd still see Philips and Jones as deserved shoe-ins for the test side.

However I dont see Hook as being anywhere near O'Gara.
 
Hook offers more than O'Gara in that he covers three positions, and his style is different to both ROG and Jones. And he was pretty good against the Cheetahs, given how awful our forwards were.

On these reasons alone I could see him getting bench duty over ROG, but meh.
 
Jones and Phillips are test certainties. Phillips had a good game yesterday, and he will deservedly win Lions tests caps, but his service is poor, it's a fact and pretty much the only flaw in his game.

Nah his service is ok its his decision making is the worst as he decides to run when he should pass.
 
So Philips out then?

Maybe they could Give Shane a run at scrumhalf. Surely he deserves another chance.
 
Logo you have been wumming quite a bit lately, so I can't tell you how happy I am to see you make a serious post, keep it up! :)
 
I forgot about that. Yeah, Lee Meers is quite the effective scrumhalf...and didn't he ddo some snipeing from the back of the ruck to score his try. Fantastic stuff.

Lee Mears is a better Scrum half than Shane Williams.[/b]
Yes, that was a tasty delivery. Never mind Ickle - I thought it was better than any of Phillips long passes.
