Who's the greatest? 4:33pm on 06 Jul 2009 It's obviously tough to compare such varying sports but to put it into context Federer's dominance of Grand Slams (20-odd consecutive semi final places) is the equivalent of Tiger coming in the top four in 20-odd Slams. I admit that there are more variables in golf such as inclement weather, and one bad shot can massively set you back. The two are both incredible sporting legends who will both be revered for years. I'd have Federer just in front (But I'm more of a tennis fan than gold which is probably the contributing factor.)
Lions taking shape with lessons to learn 10:00am on 11 Jun 2009 15. Byrne - Kearney hasn't had the opportunities to impose on the tour, but I think the managemenet knew that Byrne was the favourite. Guscott's favourite player in the world is a dead cert.

14. Bowe - The only winger to have showed form as of yet, albeit against lesser opposition for the best part.

13. BOD - Can create something out of nothing, I still think he should have been captain.

12. Roberts - When picking an inside centre perfect for taking to the Bokke the attributes selected would create Jamie Roberts. Solid in both attack and defence and forming a solid link with BO'D, another dead-cert.

11. Williams - Until another winger does something worth noting then Shane has ro be picked as we all know what he can do. He has given the Bokke nightmares in the past, and no other winger has held their hand up and given a performance to merit inclusion.

10. Jones - A decision based on defensive ability, although this is one of the most fiercely contested spots. RO'G has been hit and miss so far, with Hook impressing when he has had the chance. The dilemma is not only who starts, but who is on the bench.

9. Phillips - Physical, quick, able to throw a bullet pass, on his day the best in the world in my opinion.

8. Heaslip - Little competition but has been solid and impressive in his workrate. Forming a good partnership with Phillips.

7. Wallace - Another solid performer, and has to be picked on the basis that Martyn Williams has not had the chance to perform as of yet.

6. Croft - Perhaps fortunate to have seen Ferris injured, but has done well in the line out and performed admirably in the loose. Can expect a challenge from the fired up Ryan Jones.

5. PO'C - Still the best second row in the British Isles and is now adjusting to his role as captain. Real competition to Matfield.

4. Wyn Jones - Hines is just behind in the pecking order, and nees a chance on the weekend. AWC on points so far.

3. Vickery - Need to see more of Murray, but the experience of Vickery will give the fierce SA pack nightmares. Needs to cut out the indiscipline.

2. Mears - The only class hooker available (Flannery unlucky). Worked well in the loose and hit his man regularly.

1. Jenkins - Work-rate second to none, a great scrummager (Last night's opposition couldn't deal with him). Not sure why Sheridan is touted as the Test number 1 when GJ has been outstanding.
