[QUOTE="shazbooger, post: 267866"] I suppose one of the straws the Lions can draw is the form question. The Majority of the test team will have proven form going into the match itself while the a lot of the Boks will hjave been sitting on their asses all day. We see it up here in the 6 nations, and I presume its the same in the tri-nations that teams take time, real game time, to truly gel again. The Lions have had that time, the Boks havent. The comparison between the teams is a flawed approach, but fun. In my opinion the Lions have a better front row, an vastly inferior second row, a weaker backrow, better half backs, evcen centres, but a better back three. While I think the Boks will be cold I still think were going to get thumped up front. [/QUOTE]
