Geech set to announce Lions replacements today

Replacements on tour for Jerry Flannery and Leigh Halfpenny will be announced later today – watch this space!

Jim Telfer has tipped Ross Ford as the ideal man for the job, while former Lions hooker Keith Wood has gone for Rory Best. Meanwhile Chris Paterson’s name has appeared out of nowhere since Halfpenny was pulled (temporarily) presumably for his prowess as a kicker. I’d be tempted to go with Armitage or Evans myself, thought it is hard to argue against Mossy’s kicking stats…
