Following last nights convincing win against the Sharks, Ian McGeechan has made it clear that star centre Jamie Roberts and Blues no.8 Andy Powell are both fit for duty.

Roberts took a number of knocks during the game and was show in some pain and at the end of the game was shown being strapped into an ominous looking black shoulder-sling/body armour combo. Lions fans everywhere were worried. Geech however, assures us, that everything is fine.

“There is no problem with Jamie Roberts’ shoulder. He took a heavy bang in the first-half, but it was only bruising and Dr James Robson is happy with the way it looks. We wanted to give Riki Flutey some game time, so it fitted in nicely.”

Rumours, started largely by the online media also seemed to suggest that Andy Powell may be suffering with a fractured hand. The head coach also refuted these claims: “Andy Powell has been told that, although it might be painful, there are no structural changes to his hand. He is fit to play and doesn’t have two fractures.”

Finally, in another piece of good news for the Lions after a week that included the loss of Ferris and Halfpenny, Martyn Williams has recovered from a shoulder injury and is fit ahead of the next game versus Western Province.
