Quite a good performance against Otago.
The team has been announced for Tuesday with Henson and Murphy starting, so neither will play in the 1st Test. Very surprised about Henson, i've not seen a single choice XV where he's not starting but oh well.
Probable 1st Test team:
Lewsey
Thomas
O'Driscoll
Wilkinson
Robinson
Jones
Peel
Jenkins
Byrne
White
O'Connell
Grewcock
Hill
Back
Corry
Disappointed if that's the case, mainly with Robinson because we got all the "selection to be based on form, not reputation" stuff and that's clearly not the case with that choice. I'd have gone for Shane Williams out of the two, they're pretty similiar and Williams i simply in better form.
Really disappointed about Henson, he'd offer a good kicking alternative and tackles well, all the fly-haves have a tendency to miss a few tackles and Wilko's subconsciously not going in as powerfully after those injuries. Ryan Jones is a bit unlucky but will make the bench at least, could be preferred to Back though, with Corry moving to 7.
