THE Munster and Ireland scrum-half was probably the stand-out player in Europe last season and was certainly at the heart of Ireland’s famous win over New Zealand in Chicago. He has all the weapons needed — smooth pass, superb kicking game and very dangerous on the break — but he also has that confidence and swagger the Lions will need. Rhys Webb is another terrific performer and, although New Zealand always boast class scrum-halves, the Lions will match them all the way.
