Hire Experts For Concrete Cutting Making The Best
Concrete Driveways Adelaide is often recommended because of their low servicing. While road needs maintenance over several decades, concrete, once set up and enclosed, needs very little care. However, the concrete costs more than the road to set up, so you do pay a price for the time you will save. 23 Jul 2018 by lease cleaning 23 views 0 Comments

British and Irish Lions Third Test Team 5 views 2 Comments
03 July 2013 by The Swede Eaters
 

Brian O'Driscoll is out as coach Warren Gatland makes six changes to face the Wallabies in the third test in Sydney. I like the inclusion of Faletau and Roberts which will add some much needed punch to the team. What do you think about the British and Irish Lions third test team?

British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland has made six changes to his team for the third and deciding test against the Qantas Wallabies in Sydney.  The team will be lead by big Welsh lock Alun Wyn Jones, while it is interesting that Brian O'Driscoll has been replaced, allowing Jamie Roberts to come into a largely Welsh backline.  I don't have a problem with that as I think BOD is past it and has been disappointing in the series so far.

Toby Faletau and Sean O'Brien come into the loose forwards.  The British and Irish Lions are probably tired and needed some freshening up after a long tour.  It is great to see Roberts and Faletau add some muscle to the team.

Alex Corbisiero and Richard Hibbard start in the front row as the visitors look to avoid giving away scrum penalties this week.

What do you think of the changes to the British and Irish Lions team for the third test?  I like the changes made as I believe that Roberts and Faletau have more X Factor than the men they replaced.

There are now ten Welsh players in the starting line up.

Not to get drawn into a war of words or anything, (that's been done to death on twitter already) BUT it we're going to be laying blame for that Aussie Try then check the vid, it was Davies' missed tackle that let AAC in to score.

Wales have been the dominant NH side for the past two seasons so I've absolutely NO problem with a team made up of 10 (or even 15) Welshmen. But I'd have kept BOD regardless of my or his nationality because he teamed with Roberts offers more, in my opinion, than Davies (who I rate as a fine player).

Gatland has picked on form for the most part true, but he's also picked players he knows will play to his game plan. A game plan that has failed in the last 8 attempts to beat the Wallabies. In the past two years the center- airing of Roberts-Davies has been shown up by both the Wallabies and BOD himself (one try, one assist & one MoM in Cardiff all against Wales in this year's 6N).

To my mind 8 or 9 of 10 those Welsh guys fully deserve their spot, but in this instance Gats had made a fatal error. I'll be happy to be proved wrong though and will be cheering them on regardless.

Will those with tinted green spectacles stand back and think about the selection.
Yes I am Welsh but a BOD fan.On his performance last Saturday and that alone his form does not deserve to keep his place.Gatland has been true to his word and picked on form.
Ask yourself who threw the hospital pass that ultimately led to the AUSSIE TRY.
Gatland dropped Phillips after the first test,there was no outcry from these
parts then as PHILLIPS deserved to go.
Keep the faith.
