Robinson, Corry in Lions side to face Manawatu

England full-back Jason Robinson and loose forward Martin Corry have been named to start for the British and Irish Lions against Manawatu today, three days after facing the All Blacks.

Robinson was named by coach Clive Woodward to play on the right wing, while Corry will start at blindside flanker.

Robinson's inclusion may be to give him some game time after appearing just once before the first test, where he was woefully out of form, or a signal from Woodward that he will be looking elsewhere when naming the second test team tomorrow.

Wales winger Shane Williams will start on the left wing and could force his way into the second test squad after compatriot Gareth Thomas was named tour captain on Sunday to replace the injured Brian O'Driscoll.

Corry is a surprise inclusion given his good form on tour. He was also one of the few Lions' forwards to emerge from Saturday's 21-3 loss with some credit.
