Christian thrown in by Lions

SHANE Williams has described England speedster Christian Wade as ''my kind of guy'' ahead of them forming an unlikely strike partnership for the British and Irish Lions today. Only two days ago, Williams was in Japan playing for his club side Mitsubishi Dynaboars, while Wade had an England Test match on his mind against Argentina in Buenos Aires.

Yesterday, though, they trained with the Lions at North Sydney Oval ahead of starting against the Brumbies today (10.30am)

British and Irish Lions: R Kearney (Ireland); C Wade (England), B Barritt (England), B Twelvetrees (England), S Williams (Wales); S Hogg (Scotland), B Youngs (England); R Grant (Scotland), R Best (Ireland, capt), M Stevens (England), I Evans (Wales), R Gray (Scotland), S O'Brien (Ireland), J Tipuric (Wales), T Faletau (Wales).
