Frank Warren is on the lookout for a world class opponent for Amir Khan following his defeat of former three-weight world champion Marco Antonio Barrera. I have the answer, and I'll give it to him for free, because Khan would get his head smashed in and I'd just love to see it.

Sure any liverpool fan i have seen lately shouldn't worry about the Champions League Draw. Boasting that liverpool are best team in europe. 4 goals against Real Madrid and Man Utd and putting 5 past Villa on Sunday there. Shouldn't be any trouble to them like.(sense the sarcasm)

Any thoughts for the Lions team?

15. Lee Byrne
14. Tommy Bowe
13. Brian O'Driscoll
12. Gavinn Henson
11. Shane Williams
10. Stephen Jones
9. Mike Philips
1.Gethin Jenkins
2. Jerry Flannery
3. Evun Murray
4. Alun Wyn Jones
5. Paul O'Connell
6. Davis Wallace
7. Marthyn Williams
8. Jamie Heaslip

Was very close for some positions - Wilkonson if fit will start at 10. No 12 is a toss up between Henson, Roberts and Shanklin

John it could happen. He qualifies to play for Dublin even without the granny's rule. A bit small for full back but would fit in nicely around mid-field!

Think you're fairly close with your team there bad monkey, I'd say the team that starts the first test will be very similar to that. Despite the Irish grand slam the team is still likely to be Welsh-dominated unfortunately.
