Halfpenny (and Ferris) out??

[Duncan B]

Bad news was hoping leigh would come ionto form and Ferris was making the 6 battle very tight!

[kingol22]

good news for tom but hugely unluky for ferris

Bad luck for both of them, Ferris and Crofty were causing big problems for that number 6 jersey

[Ben the Tiger]

Ferris has been ruled out of the whole tour and been replaced by Ryan Jones...

Thats a massive blow for the Lions, but surely Croft has the 6 shirt well within his grasp.

All we need is Borthwick and we will have all 4 national captains in the squad

[seaweed]

Current form a problem but remember the impact Ryan Jones had as a late replacement on the Last lions tour.

[Big Dai]

I'd take current form over past glories every time!

[pacificleicesterer]

I'm gutted that Ferris has been ruled out, he's been one of the stand out players so far on this tour and would of most likely made the test team.

I'm sure there will be more lions tours to come for him

No, no, no, I certainly dont want Borthwick there, I'd give a lot of people a big shock !

Signature changed .. again !

[kingol22]

Wait for the injury at 10 and see cipriani get a call up

[Ben the Tiger]

Halfpenny has been ruled out of the rest of the tour...
