The Lions coach, Ian McGeechan, has faced plenty of problems in picking his squad – on Tuesday he will reveal his solutions. Eddie Butler writes in The Observer.
"Has anything else changed since the Six Nations? Only that Julian White put his hand up – and not just to land a sweet right on Andrew Sheridan's jaw. I'm just thinking of the midweek team, the dirt-trackers who have to put up and shut up for large parts of the tour, deemed ever so important for overall morale, but left increasingly to their own devices as the Test series approaches.
"It's a tough old trek for them around South Africa and they'll need a few tough old birds of their own. I'd be tempted to stick White on the plane and not give him too many stern lectures about hitting people."
