I think this is the pack they will go for the tests, but with Wallace on instead of Worsley and I think it is the back 3 they go for. I think with Brian O'Driscoll out, the mid field they leave open to to play with before the next game. They need to win and the Royals will not be soft so they need to put out a big pack and it a good game to see what the young guns like Earls and Roberts can do and for Blair to show his name should of always been on the Lions squid list.
