Woodward Rings Changes For Lions

[Thomas_Merton]

At last a team worthy of the title British and Irish Lions.

I can't wait until Saturday.

May the best team win.

Lions head coach Sir Clive Woodward has drafted in seven new players for Saturday's make-or-break second Test against the All Blacks in Wellington.

Welsh star Gavin Henson, overlooked for the first Test defeat, is paired at centre with new skipper Gareth Thomas.

Compatriot Shane Williams is rewarded for his tries against Manawatu, while Jonny Wilkinson reverts to fly-half.

And Simon Easterby, Lewis Moody, Ryan Jones, Donncha O'Callaghan and Steve Thompson feature in a new-look pack.

There are a total of 11 changes from the side that were beaten 21-3 in the first Test in Christchurch.

...

After coming under fire for having an English bias in his first Test team, Woodward's new XV comprises six Englishmen, six Welshmen and Irish trio Easterby, O'Connell and O'Callaghan
