These British Lions selections become ever more strange and the line-up coach Ian McGeechan has chosen for the third test on Saturday looks odder than ever.
Mr Blatherskite really can’t believe it’s McGeechan who’s picked this team, it must be the Welsh coaching duo of Warren Gatland and Shaun Edwards.
The Lions have recalled prop Phil Vickery, who was all but dismembered in the first test and can’t last 80 minutes anyway, dropped their best forward Tom Croft in favour of journeyman Joe Worsley, picked winger Tommy Bowe (who’s been rubbish so far) in the centre and brought in Shane Williams on the wing.
By the end of the first half Williams will probably be reduced to Springbok hoofprints.
As for Worsley, if they really want a big tackler in there drop number eight Jamie Heaslip, who’s done very little so far.
South Africa by 30 points then.
