Why Owen Farrell is NOT a silver bullet who can win Tests for the Lions - this is what he brings instead, writes DAN BIGGAR
I met up for a coffee with Wallabies winger Andrew Kellaway in Melbourne on Friday. We are mates from our Northampton days and we had a pretty honest conversation. I told him the Lions wouldn't have been scared of the team Australia named last week. You need a fear factor. That often stems from the forwards but for me the half-backs was the biggest difference.

Free-scoring Lions can be beaten insists Waratahs coach McKellar
NSW Waratahs coach Dan McKellar said Thursday that beating the British and Irish Lions was "doable", but admitted the scale of the challenge for his under-strength team was daunting. Free-scoring Lions can be beaten insists Waratahs coach McKellar The chances of an upset in Sydney appear slim, with the tourists racking up 16 tries and 106 points across their opening two tour wins against Western Force and Queensland Reds. "We are not playing Super Rugby or anything else. We are playing a high-quality Test team. But they've got two arms and two legs, and you just have to put them under pressure," McKellar said. "The Force and the Reds, they have done that ... being able to do it and sustain it for long periods of time is the challenge. "But as has been proven in the past, it's certainly doable. You just have to be very good." While wing Andrew Kellaway and prop Taniela Tupou have been released from Australia's training camp for the match, the Waratahs are without several key players who remain with the Wallabies ahead of a Test on Sunday against Fiji. They include dynamic wing Joseph Suallii, scrum-half Jake Gordon, prop Angus Bell and hooker David Porecki. McKellar said set-piece dominance could be a key weapon for the Waratahs. "Dominant set-piece is a big part of what we do," he said. "Ideally, we can get dominance at scrum time, because off the back of that you get field position, you are in the penalty count, and you game just flows from there. "We've worked incredibly hard over the last month since Super Rugby finished for us," he added. "I want to see a transfer of that and put a performance on that we can hang our hat on." Long-serving back-row forward Hugh Sinclair will captain the side in what will be the last game of his professional career. One-Test Wallaby wing Darby Lancaster is included, while former Australia lock Matt Philip will make his Waratahs debut from the bench after returning from a stint in Japan. NSW Waratahs : Lawson Creighton; Andrew Kellaway, Lalakai Foketi, Joey Walton, Darby Lancaster; Jack Bowen, Teddy Wilson; Hugh Sinclair , Charlie Gamble, Rob Leota; Miles Amatosero, Fergus Lee-Warner; Taniela Tupou, Ethan Dobbins, Tom Lambert Replacements: Mahe Vailanu, Jack Barrett, Daniel Botha, Matt Philip, Jamie Adamson, Jack Grant, Tane Edmed, Henry O'Donnell mp/dh This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Tupou, Kellaway big ins for Waratahs to face Lions
Wallabies Taniela Tupou and Andrew Kellaway have been named in the NSW Waratahs side to play the British and Irish Lions in Sydney on Saturday who will start at tighthead prop, and Kellaway, named on the right wing, rejoined the side at Daceyville in Sydney this week after being released from Wallabies camp in Newcastle. Seemingly out of the running for Sunday's Test against Fiji, Tupou and Kellaway are welcome additions to a Waratahs side attempting to fare better against the powerful tourists than both the Western Force and Queensland Reds have. The Force succumbed 54-7 in Perth last Saturday night, before the Lions mauled the Reds 52-12 in Brisbane on Wednesday night. With regular skipper Jake Gordon with the Wallabies, the Waratahs will be captained by long-serving back-rower Hugh has been named at No.8 for what will be the last game of his professional rugby career. Leading the side before a packed home stadium and in such a high-profile game will provide him with a fairytale adieu to the in the team after being released from the Wallabies' wider training group are Darby Lancaster on the left wing, flyhalf Tane Edmed and, on the bench, lock Matt Philip for his Waratahs debut after returning from Japan.

Rugby-Kellaway, Toole released from Australia squad for Fiji test
FILE PHOTO: Rugby Union - Autumn Internationals - England v Australia - Allianz Stadium Twickenham, London, Britain - November 9, 2024 Australia's Andrew Kellaway celebrates scoring their fourth try Action Images via Reuters/Andrew Boyers/File Photo MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Wingers Andrew Kellaway and Corey Toole were released from the Australia squad on Tuesday as Joe Schmidt's preferred team to face the British & Irish Lions moved into clearer focus. Kellaway will return to his New South Wales Waratahs squad for their tour match against the Lions in Sydney on Saturday, ruling him out of selection for the Wallabies' game against Fiji on Sunday. Uncapped at test level, Toole will also miss out on the Fiji test, the Wallabies' last warmup before the July 19 series-opener against the Lions in Brisbane, to join his ACT Brumbies squad ahead of their tour match against the Lions next week. Waratahs backs Joseph Suaalii and Max Jorgensen have been retained in Schmidt's squad for Fiji, with the former capable of playing in the centres and both giving Schmidt options at fullback and on the wings. Schmidt also has the Western Force duo of Harry Potter and Dylan Pietsch as wing options in his squad along with Queensland Reds speedster Filipo Daugunu. Kellaway's release follows prop Taniela Tupou's return to the Waratahs on Monday. Andy Farrell's Lions will familiarise themselves with the first test venue of the Wallabies series when they meet the Queensland Reds at Lang Park on Wednesday. The Lions thrashed Western Force 54-7 in Perth in their first tour match in Australia last Saturday but Farrell expects a tougher test against the Reds, who are coached by future Wallabies boss Les Kiss. "Les has done a fantastic job with them to play a great brand of rugby and are able to play in many different ways," Farrell told reporters. "So this will be 100% a big step up for us on Wednesday night. Any side that Les coaches, he's always going to be very well prepared."
