Israel Folau's untested wing defence will be targeted by the British and Irish Lions as Warren Gatland happily turned up the heat on his big-stage Wallabies debut.

-------------------------------------------------------------

If that's the Lion's game plan, I reckon it might back-fire. Izzy may have only played a dozen matches of union, but he's played over a hundred league matches, including 7 internationals and 5 SOOs. I don't think he get intimidated by the big occassion, especially for a match at Suncorp!

They're probably gonna target his poor aerial or tackling skills...

When teams target a player, they miss out on other better options. Izzy has played origin, the most intense sporting event on the planet!

I haven't seen him much this year, but every game I';ve watched he's just got better. He seems to be one of those players who makes very few mistakes. And he's looked rock solid under the high ball.

I would target the Union Rookie as well. Unfortunately, that would have worked at Fullback Six weeks or so ago, It might work now with the positional change, but he seems to have got his head into the game, now it remains to be seen how long it takes him to adjust to the international standard of the code.

Sorry - I should have made it clear that was a bit of sarcasm.
