Is Andy Powell doing special favours for IM or something, he cant get in the Cardiff 15, he cant get in the Welsh 15 but hes good enough for the Lions

To be fair the only thing that is keeping him out of the Cardiff XV is Xavier Rush who has been in superb form this season. Cardiff have a world class back row in Williams, Rush and Molitika.

The XV seems to be a mix of solid starters and players/combinations that IM wants to have another look at due to form etc. I'd suggest Powell is in the 2nd group as one of those that isn't perhaps playing as well as he was when his name was pencelled in. The Backrow does have quite a nice balance to it with a tree cutter, fetcher, and ball carrier.

According to BBC, Powell and Ferris are injury concerns

Is there anyway of watching this live online? Stupidly went away to France to work and forgot to bring the sky box!

i'm watching online - http://www.justin.tv/live24live

no score after 5 minutes, and I think you can count the spectators on one hand!

edit:
3-3 now, this link is a bit better http://www.justin.tv/yor_motor_com1

Still struggling 18-13 down with 20 to go.

This could be embarrassing... The royal XV score after a nice offloading chain.

15minutes to go and its 25-13!

managed to win 25-37, but need to do a lot better.

Thankfully they finished with a flourish! Scoring a few good tries. FT 37-25

Must improve as the Boks would have won this easily. But they have the time and games to improve.

O'Gara, Roberts and Byrne looked good, as did Flutey when he came on. Everyone else was average and Rees and Earls were quite poor.

Earls had a mare.

Still rust shaken off.
