[QUOTE="Col, post: 268262"] Time for Vickery to retire I think! Undermined the entire performance, the Lions we're never going to win the line-out battle but should have owned the scrum. With Stephens & Sheridan we mullered the Springboks in the WC at scrummage time, I know Stephens is off the selection list but... still, Lions had Jenkins. It's a sad state of English rugby when an all Welsh front row can cope with the Bok's and a front row with two Englishmen get hammered. O'Connell despite being captain is showing no form. AW Jones & O'Callaghan should play the next test sadly the Lions chose O'Connell as captain. And are stuck with the guy. Roberts & BOD were very good in midfield, looked potent if the forwards could provide the ball for them more often they'd do damage. Still think they should have taken Cipriani for te X factor, Jones is predictable but solid, good for 55 minutes. I can't stand Ronan O'Gara! Chokes, can't tackle... Surely for the last 35 minutes Flutey & Cipriana are worth bringing out the bag along with Care or Ellis or Peel... Phillips like Jones is a percentage guy, percentage guys are only worth having on the pitch for 55 minutes. [/QUOTE]
