YOU MAY REMEMBER last month we brought you the news of Jamie Roberts’ potential late call-up to the Manic Street Preachers squad.
Well, given the Welsh chameleon-rock stars were due to play in Melbourne tonight, less than 24 hours before the Lions’ second Test against Australia, we felt it unlikely that Roberts would be allowed the time off to live the dream.
Luckily (for Jonathan Davies, anyway) the centre’s hamstring has precluded him from more than a watching interest in events at AAMI Park and he was free to strum along while James Dean Bradfield stretched out his vocal chords at the soundcheck this afternoon.
Here, Jamie. Play us a bitta Revol, will ya?

Brain dead, leaving it till the 11th hour before a decision is made. No consideration for players involved that may have to travel even within their own counties.
Crokes v Glen was played in dreadful conditions last year.
Bringing Austin Stacks players and supporters even further away from home is hardly fair, longer trip back and hitting the worst of the weather then
Typical GAA, don’t care for players or supporters that may have to travel half the country, pitch may be just ok, but roads won’t be, driving home after 3.30pm game in these conditions is mad
