Rugby: Western Force picks six Wallabies in starting team against British and Irish Lions

# Rugby: Western Force coach Simon Cron urged his team to step up and meet the moment when they face the British and Irish Lions after naming six current Wallabies in his starting side. The tourists open their nine-game Australian itinerary in Perth on Saturday. They will face a side skippered by experienced scrum-half Nic White, who along with Nick Champion de Crespigny, Dylan Pietsch, Tom Robertson and Darcy Swain were released from Australia’s training camp. Team-mates Carlo Tizzano, Jeremy Williams and Harry Potter were not and will miss the game.
