So, do we think the Lions have what it takes to beat the All Blacks? Personally from what I've seen I don't think they do. The game against then Maori was pretty dire, although Wellington was a little better. But shouldn't the cream of our 4 national teams be more convincing against NZ provincial sides?

From what I've seen so far, I'd also start Hodgson with Wilkinson on the bench.

I;m not sure, we've got the talent but not the team if that makes sense?

Personally I would start Wilko as I think he can raise his game to be best #10 in the world where Hodgson can't.

I would also pair Shanklin with BOD as I have still yet to see Henson do anything impressive.

Should be interesting, I can't wait!
