A brief review of the most exciting opening weekend in the history of the Six Nations. All three matches featured enthralling end to end action and moments of individual brilliance.
Last but not least are the outside backs, the glory boys, the men entrusted with making the most of limited opportunities and most importantly putting points on the board.
By far the easiest position to pick for the squad is the centres. Four will travel, and the top four contenders are head and shoulder-pads above the rest of the competition.
With all expectations being that the Lions forwards will, for the most part, have their way with the Wallaby pack, the eyes of fortune then turn their way towards the halfbacks.
If the second row is an area of strength for the Lions, then the back row features an absolute embarrassment of riches.
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.
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.
