    I would have preferred to have Fotuali'li at 9 but Yachvilli ain't bad!

    What odds on there being two future Lions in the backline in Daly and Payne?

    I don't see why the crowd are booing,he was more exciting than anything the Barbarians did.

    They booed the security guards going off their feet and entering from the side.

    Tindall is an injury doubt so Varty has been added as cover. Very surprised he was not in the original match day squad, what was the point of naming him in the squad if he was not going to feature in the match in Hong Kong.

    Two outside centers will be interesting... very interested to see how Casey gets on at 12.

    I'd say he'll do well, his style of game is quite suited to 12 I always thought, i.e. taking the ball into contact and looking for the offload in the tackle, but Munster just weren't able to adapt to him (and vice versa).

    He should get decent service from Evans and if Daly can get into the right support positions, then it might work out well.

    Good team, would have liked to see Kahn & Harinordoquy start but it's still a very formidable team.
