Lions Rugby Team Announced For First Test – Bigger Is Better Against The Boks!
The Lions Rugby Squad for Saturdays First Test with South Africa has been announced. And Yes the Lions Rugby Team management have gone for size in the main areas of debate in the test selection where David Wallace’s greater physical dimension at the breakdown is preferred to the speed of thought and livewire link play of Martin Williams who has to do with a place on the bench. More than likely the inclusion of the athletic but lightweight Tom Croft in the number 6 slot required some extra muscle in the backrow and Wallace benefited from his explosive ability with ball in hand and his greater firepower at cleaning the first man at ruck time.
The other key area of debate at the selection meeting must surely have been the left wing slot where Ugo Moyne has fought off challenges from the likes of Shane Williams, Luke Fitzgerald and Rob Kearney, Having said that he is just bigger that the other players is giving his recent performances a great disservice because he has been very sharp and indeed in the white heat of battle against the fiery Southern Kings he played very well with bad, slow ball going forward, tackled ferverently and most importantly caught and kicked the ball without error, which was supposed to be on of his weakneses.

Lions Rugby Highlights- Where Can I Get To Watch Lions Tour Highlights Online?
Lions Tour Rugby Highlights? The old chestnut, where can I watch the British Lions TV highlights online. The simple answer is nowhere legally unless you pay. If you go to skysports and register you can pay a monthly fee similar to their cable and satellite tv setup. I think that it is called skyplayer.
There are plenty of “FREE” sites where you simply share files with other users. The infamous PirateBay in Sweden successfully shared millions of copied video and music with friends until a protracted legal battle caught up with them.
If you google file sharing and bit torrent you will find “free” sites for just about anything including british lions rugby highlights but I don’t recommend these services if you have any concerns about internet security. To start sharing your computers memory with some anonymous server in another country is not an option for the faint hearted.
YouTube will have some rugby lions highlights available for a short while after the matches until they are removed by the companies who own the rights to the images.
Get SkySports in or if you are a real sports fan go to the local pub or rugby club and shout on the British and Irish Lions in real style with a noisy bunch of rugby nuts beside you!
