He is a fairly abrasive character, they have chosen a big pack - trying to replicate what happened in 1997 but without the benefit of the ex league boys that went - expect some biff.

HTF does Simon Shaw get in a Lions touring party? Hugely overrated, massive discipline issues that the Boks will work on both with the referees in the media before games and in provoking him out on the field.

Says a lot for the quality of the game in the northern hemisphere. I've a lot of time for Geech, but I can see this tour ending in a real disaster results wise.
