Tommy Bowe and Rory Best start for the British and Irish Lions in Wednesday’s match against Western Force in Perth.
The team has a decidedly Irish feel to it with Murray and Sexton at half-back, Bowe on the wing, Healy and Best in the front row and O’Brien and Heaslip in the back row, all topped off with Brian O’Driscoll captaining the team from his usual berth in the centre.
Hopefully Wednesday’s match will be a little more competitive now that Saturdays sponsors commitment is out of the way as there is still plenty to play for across the board. I would guess that so far only Jonny Sexton is a nailed on starter, but I must admit I was impressed by the Alun Wyn Jones and Richie Gray second row partnership.
