[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 578291, member: 55446"] [COLOR=#1C1C1C][FONT=arial]From the BBC:[B] Lions v Australia: [/B]Leigh Halfpenny (Wales), Alex Cuthbert (Wales), Brian O'Driscoll (Ireland), Jonathan Davies (Wales), George North (Wales), Jonathan Sexton (Ireland), Mike Phillips (Wales); Alex Corbisiero (England), Tom Youngs (England), Adam Jones (Wales), Alun Wyn Jones (Wales), Paul O'Connell (Ireland), Tom Croft (England), Sam Warburton (Wales, capt), Jamie Heaslip (Ireland).[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#1C1C1C][FONT=arial][B]Replacements: [/B]Richard Hibbard (Wales), Mako Vunipola (England), Dan Cole (England), Geoff Parling (England), Dan Lydiate (Wales), Ben Youngs (England), Owen Farrell (England), Sean Maitland (Scotland). [/FONT][/COLOR] ****. 4 years of "the all-Welsh front row" is now going to turn into "the all-Welsh back 3". :p I think it's shrewd thinking bringing Corbisiero ahead of Vunipola. Hammer home the scrum advantage whilst Adam Jones is also on the pitch and then bring Vunipola/Hibbard/Cole on for the physicality in the loose as the teams tire. After the 6N, who'd've thought England would provide 4/6 of the front row? :o Anyway, reasonably happy with the squad. Looking forward to the test! [/QUOTE]
