    ROG if you are reading thisLadbrokes have you at 9/4 to start the first test. I thought you did very well last week and Iknow you are sometimes drawn to a gentlemans's wager. May I suggest you get some of the holiday money out of the box under the bed and invest in these generous odds. I think you are a shoe in at the moment for the first test. Head down and follow through - good man!

    Agreed. At the very least shoe in is a bit strong. Could be one of the most interesting battles for a place over the whole tour.

    So the Welsh mafia can give lickle Shane every
    opportunity to prove he's not a liability. Only player
    involved in all 3 tests.

    Would have preferred to see ROG starting today given the selection of
    Fitz and Earls outside him: it'd do them a few favours to have a familiar,
    experienced face inside them.

    Can totally understand why Hook gets a start though. I don't think that
    it's a Welsh plot, he just deserves a starting berth to show what he can
    do. He hasn't been in good form, but he is talented, and the Lions
    need a third OH [and less of this guff talk about Flutey filling in at 10].

    lots of guys went as midweek players butgot the nod fortest match. Paul Wallace, David Bentley, Eric Miller to name a few. I would not write off Hook as O Garaor Jones are not certs by any means. I think Hook is the most talented of the three and the other two are not standing out imo.

    Jones gave a fine performance on Wednesday. His pass to set up Bowe was savage. Hook was ok today but not yet challenging

    Jones and Philips to start because of their familiarity and Jones is in slightly better form.
    The only thing lance is on is his bike 6 hours a day, busting his ass, what are you on?

    The fact that Hook gave a 100% goal kicking display could
    prove decisive. ROG and Jones are a bit similar in style so
    if coaches want someone to offer something different off
    the bench but still be able to keep the scores coming then
    Hook may have pushed himself into contention. At the
    moment I reckon Jones is out on his own with ROG just
    ahead of Hook. ROG will have to play well this week.

    Not much point in having Jones and ROG in the same 22. Hook should be on the bench regardless of who is number 1. Jones and ROG are too similar. Need somoene on the bench to break up the game.

    Rog can onlydicatate a game with decent serivce which he is not going to get, for that reason if he makes the bench, its all gravy!
