McGeechan gets welcome problem

Martyn Williams, Joe Worsley, Nathan Hines and James Hook provided Ian McGeechan with just the selection quandary the Lions head coach has been craving according to Ian Stafford in the Mail on Sunday.

"With the first Test against South Africa in Durban now six days away, McGeechan had much of his starting XV confirmed by the hard-fought victory in difficult wet and windy conditions. But he also now has the happy problem, when he sits down to pick the Test team with his fellow coaches after the final warm-up game on Tuesday, of some fierce competition for places.

More candidates have emerged in the forwards, while there is a genuine two-way battle to back up stand-off Stephen Jones, who did enough to warrant his berth on his way to scoring two penalties and a conversion."
