Looks like they have put the team announcement into the paid area of the site !

Of course......... Not that it will generate money for them, once one person is in they will tell it to others and put it up somewhere on the net.

The British and Irish Lions have made five changes for the second Test against South Africa at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria on Saturday.

Simon Shaw replaces Alun Wyn Jones in the second row and Adam Jones and Matthew Rees come in for Phil Vickery and Lee Mears in the front row.

Rob Kearney takes over from injured Lee Byrne at full-back and Luke Fitzgerald replaces Ugo Monye on the left wing.

The Lions lost last Saturday's first Test in Durban 26-21.

Saturday's match will be the first time the Lions have had an all-Welsh Test front row since 1955, when Billy Williams, Bryn Meredith and Courtenay Meredith lined up against the Springboks.
