Plenty still in hunt for Test places, says Clive

LIONS coach Clive Woodward insists there are Test places up for grabs for the players involved against Otago at Carisbrook tomorrow morning (8.10am).

Woodward sent out a near-Test strength side for the midweek victory over Wellington. He then switched Jonny Wilkinson from fly-half to inside centre for the final 20 minutes at the expense of Gavin Henson to give Stephen Jones a run out at No.10.

The move added fuel to speculation that he will play both Jones and Wilkinson in the first Test in Christchurch, reducing the chances of specialist centres playing against Otago to stake a claim to partner Brian O’Driscoll in midfield.
