Hill replaces injured Moody

CLIVE WOODWARD’S decision to ratchet up the intensity of Lions training sessions has come at a price after Lewis Moody was ruled out of contention for this weekend’s game against Otago in Dunedin.

The Leicester and England flanker had been named as a replacement for this morning’s clash with Wellington at the Westpac Stadium, but he was yesterday forced to withdraw from the bench after sustaining a knock to his left knee during training in Christchurch on Monday.

The joint stiffened overnight and Moody’s place in the squad was taken by Richard Hill.
