Vacation time!
On vacation… back Tuesday December 18 with a look at the Lions halfbacks!
Looking For Lions – The Back Row
If the second row is an area of strength for the Lions, then the back row features an absolute embarrassment of riches.
Looking For Lions – The Second Row
An area of traditional strength for the Lions has been the second row, and this time around is no exception. While The Wallabies have likely captain James Horwill to call on, beyond that their choices look pretty ordinary.
Looking For Lions – The Front Row
We are now a little more than four months away from the naming of the 2013 British & Irish Lions, and though a lot can happen in that time it’s fair to say that all those who are in serious contention will have been sounded out by now.
Team of the Year 2012
The best of 2012! How many All Blacks have made the cut?
The Breakdown – Why Wales Lost
While certainly a lack of composure in the final minutes of the match effected the ultimate outcome, Wales made several fundamental errors during the match that will have no doubt had Warren Gatland & Co. seething during the debriefing.
