The Luck of the Irish…



“Did you know that an Irish player has been injured before even setting foot in South Africa?”
“Oh, really ?”
“No, O’Leary “

Got to feel sorry for the Terrier that snaps at the heels of the Munster pack of hounds. When David Wallace jogged out at the Liberty Stadium mid week, with orders to spoil whatever he could, he didn’t mean to include his mate Tomas’ summer.
The Lions coaching staff will cast around for a replacement, and Dwayne Peel’s name should come to the top of the list. An on form Peel would dance some pretty patterns around the brutish Springboks, and take some pressure off what could be a back line short on attacking flair.
They may go for one of two Scotsmen, Blair or Cusiter, either of whom would offer a sharp passing game. Danny Care would be a liability. He lacks judgement, and will want to play his own game. What ball the Lions pack win needs to be carefully used.
