Guessing Test side too tough a game, says Murray

It is not just the media and supporters who pass the time trying to second guess Warren Gatland’s selection of the British & Irish Lions team for the first Test against Australia.

Conor Murray admitted he and his fellow Lions are also playing the game and are having just as much difficulty coming up with a cast-iron XV to face the Wallabies in Brisbane a week on Saturday.

“Just sitting around with a couple of the lads from other countries we can’t pick the Test side,” Murray said. “In certain positions you’re trying to guess and we can’t. There’s unbelievable competition everywhere.”
