‘Bash them’: The Anzac team tasked with softening up Lions for Wallabies
@Source: brisbanetimes.com.au
The Wallabies will get some help from Kiwi cousins in their bid to take down the British and Irish Lions, with Les Kiss revealing the Australia and New Zealand Invitational side will be aiming to “bash” the touring side seven days out from the first Test.
The incendiary revelation from Kiss, who is head coach of the AUNZ team, came as it emerged Reds five-eighth Tom Lynagh has suffered a broken finger, throwing his involvement in tour matches against the Lions into doubt and potentially limiting his chances of playing in the Test series.
Lynagh picked up a finger fracture as the Reds’ Super Rugby campaign ended last week and is facing a three- to four-week recovery, which will see him racing the clock to be fit to play for Queensland against the Lions on July 2, or for the Wallabies against Fiji on July 6.
There is confidence Lynagh’s injury is not major, and he will be fine by the start of the Wallabies-Lions Test series on July 19.
