[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 107243"] Can`t help but think of one thing- yes, sure the Canes have got that massive ball-carrying back row, but the Lions have got a couple of pretty big hitters in their back row too, with big, ugly units Jacques Cronje and Ernst Joubert, and a very good fetching openside in Baywatch Grobbelaar. Maybe, just maybe Baywatch could have a big impact on this game, as he`s probably the most recognised fetcher of both back rows. The Canes will definately go into the game as the favourites, heck they`ll even have jet-lag in their favour with the Lions returning from their tour leg, but don`t write off the Lions just yet- they`re a well-coached side, with plenty of talent. Very light on experience, sure, but very much an improving side, who can only improve with experience. Now, if only they could get OJ Simpson at openside, that guy can get away with murder at the breakdowns, and Chuck Norris at blindside- I`m sure old Chucky boy might be able to stop Jerry. Can`t think of too many others who could.... [/QUOTE]
