Australian 試みる／企てるs to form a 部隊d 前線 in the 国家の原因（となる） of （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing the Lions have already started to unravel. An untimely 漏れる has created an almighty mess 負かす／撃墜する Under.

What started off as a 決まりきった仕事協議演習 by Wallaby 長，率いる coach Robbie Deans has ended up 原因（となる）ing major 当惑. Deans emailed the coaches of the five Australian 最高の 15 味方するs, asking for their feedback about 実験（する）選択. Four of them replied, 最高位の players in each position as requested and those 指名／任命s were collated into a 可能性のある line-up.

Deans emailed the results to the coaches ― Ewen McKenzie (Reds), Jake White (Brumbies), Damien Hill (反逆者／反逆するs) and Michael Foley (軍隊), who are all understood to have 参加するd, and Michael Cheika, of the Waratahs, who 報道によれば did not 答える／応じる. Unfortunately, for the coaches who took part and the players they 評価するd, the email has been published in a newspaper and all hell has broken loose.

Embarrassing: Australian coach Robbie Deans saw an email with a proposed Test side to face the Lions leaked to a newspaper

While England went through a ‘whodunnit’ 漏れる saga に引き続いて the last World Cup, at least that took place in the 影響 of the tournament, not in the build-up. This episode has the 可能性のある to create 重要な ill-feeling when 団結 is 要求するd.

Foley, who played against the Lions in 2001, yesterday summed up the problem, 説: ‘I feel for the players that have to read that sort of thing in the マスコミ and then try and second guess things when all they should be thinking about 権利 now is how they’re going to play.

Shame: Michael Foley said the players would not have liked reading the email in the press

‘I think this sort of 憶測 on the eve of the squad 存在発表するd could be a distraction. I don’t know if a witch-追跡（する） helps anybody, but I would like to know where (the 漏れる) （機の）カム from.’

The ARU have 否定するd any 関与 in the 漏れるing of the email まっただ中に suggestions that it was a 審議する／熟考する策略 to 軟化する the blow for players who will be left out of Deans’ 一時的に squad, to be 指名するd on Sunday.

Those not 含むd in the feedback XV 含む Quade Cooper and the new sensation ― Waratahs 支援するイスラエル Folau, who has already made his 指名する in rugby league and Aussie 支配するs football.

While Kurtley Beale’s 指名する appears の中で the 交替／補充s in this 選択-by-委員会, the 返答s were sent last month, and since then he has taken ‘不明確な／無期限の leave’ to 取り組む his alcohol-関係のある問題／発行するs in a clinic. The Lions will hope he takes his time and that the ARU 追跡（する） for a mole becomes a major sideshow.

Brian O’Driscoll has chosen to play on for another season and all of Ireland ― and far beyond ― will rejoice at the news.

Now it must be hoped that the 34-year-old centre’s? scriptwriter is 準備するing a fitting send-off.

This column cast 疑問 on the 知恵 of a career 拡張, given t he 増加するing 傷害 interruptions which have stalked the 広大な／多数の／重要な man. That 感情 stands, 特に if O’Driscoll (権利) returns from Australia as a 重要な人物／姿／数字 in a Lions series 勝利. It would be an ideal point to 出口 the 行う／開催する／段階, but such perfect シナリオs rarely occur.

Play on: Brian O'Driscoll has confirmed he will continue to play next season

Play on: Brian O'Driscoll has 確認するd he will continue to play next season

He didn’t want his last Ireland memory to be a yellow card and a 禁止（する） for stamping during a 敗北・負かす in Rome, so he will play on, still hungry.

He has not 回復するd from a 支援する spasm before tonight’s Amlin Challenge Cup final against Stade Francais in Dublin, but the iconic No 13 hopes to be fit to give the Wallabies the runaround next month.

Kiwis 支配する the coaching 役割s

Vern Cotter, the Kiwi coach of Clermont Auvergne, is considering an 申し込む／申し出 to take 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 of Scotland.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

‘You have guys like Bakkies Botha, Danie Rossouw and Chris Masoe in the Toulon line-up and they’re not 正確に／まさに going to come out and start tickling you in a ruck, are they?’

Clermont’s former Scotland lock Nathan Hines gears up for the Heineken Cup final with a sarcastic take on the 今後戦う／戦い that を待つs in Dublin.

It is やめる理解できる why the SRU have approached him. As his 二塁打-chasing 味方する準備する for an all-French Heineken Cup final against Toulon, there is no 疑問ing his? 信任状.

Should he 受託する the 申し込む／申し出, Cotter, 51, would その上の高める New Zealand’s にわか景気ing 輸出（する）商売／仕事 ― running 実験（する） rugby 味方するs.

If he says yes, there would be five Kiwis in 長，率いる coach 役割s の中で the 最高の，を越す 10 nations in the IRB world 最高位のs, 含むing Steve Hansen (New Zealand), Robbie Deans (Australia), 過密な住居 Gatland (むちの跡s) and Joe Schmidt (Ireland, from the end of this season).

Whenever Hansen’s time is up, it looks like the NZRU will have no trouble finding a ready-made 後継者…

The Last word

The Barbarians have finished 収集するing a squad to （一定の）期間 danger for England and the Lions. まっただ中に the superstars from all parts, there are several players with a strong personal 協議事項.

Take James Hook, the multi-talented むちの跡s 支援する overlooked by the Lions, who will 努力する／競う to make his 失望／欲求不満 vividly 明らかな in Hong Kong on June 1.

The same goes for Dwayne Peel, the? ex-Lions 実験（する） scrum-half who has fallen off Gatland’s レーダ since moving to Sale.< /font>

直面するing the Lions: Jim Hamilton and James Hook are in the Barbarians squad to 直面する England and the Lions

Scotland lock Jim Hamilton is another driven to show the Lions he should be on their 味方する, and Dean Mumm will want to 警報 Australia to his 耐えるing 質s.

Elliot Daly will 目的（とする） to make a mockery of his England squad omission at Twickenham next Sunday, and ツバメ Castrogiovanni will hope to attract a new 雇用者 after his 提案するd move from Leicester to Toulon fell through.

So much 動機づけ. So much danger.
