Lions 2013: Andy Farrell tells Robbie Deans 'I would want snubbed Quade Cooper in my team' Among those added to the squad by Deans was Kurtley Beale, despite the fact he had checked himself into rehabilitation clinic for alcohol problems last month, while James Horwill, the Queensland Reds captain and second row, was confirmed as the captain to face the Lions. Farrell echoed McKenzie's support for Cooper. "He's a bloody good player," he said. If I was a coach I'd want him in my side. Having said that, I don't know the background and the ins and outs of why he was not selected. He's certainly a handful, brings a lot to the party so I'm pretty pleased. They've got quite a few backs that pass, with Beale back in the squad and James O'Connor and Adam Ashley-Cooper, they've got a magnificent backline. But Quade adds something a bit different. Farrell also dismissed Deans's suggestion that the Lions were being paranoid about their security, after Warren Gatland had said that they would be changing their codes before the Test matches and raised the issue of video analysis by the Wallabies. The head coach had also revealed that the Lions asked a wedding planner who filmed a training session in Perth to delete his footage. Soon after arriving on the New South Wales coast, following a short flight from Brisbane, the Lions trained on a pitch in a public park and their security staff made sure there were no opportunities for private recordings to take place. But Farrell insisted that the Lions were simply leaving nothing to chance. We have got to get things right. We are not paranoid. If we are paranoid about getting things right, well yes, we are. We are trying to do our best on the field and off the field we have got to make sure that nothing gets in the way. Horwill, who led Australia's 2011 Tri-Nations-winning side, returns to the captaincy after a hamstring injury last year ruled him out of the entire Test season. Those joining Beale as additions in the squad are Hugh McMeniman, the Western Force lock, Queensland Reds wing Digby Ioane, Brumbies back Pat McCabe, Brumbies lock or flanker Peter Kimlin and Scott Sio, the Brumbies prop. Deans has been closely involved with Beale through the counselling process and said he did not believe it was too soon for him to return to the national team set-up. He showed that as recently as last year's European tour, when he performed outstandingly and led the team from fly-half in adverse circumstances against many of the opposition players we now face again. His work last week during the first camp supported our contention that it was not too soon for him to get started again, from either a physical or a mental standpoint. Melbourne Rebels scrum-half Luke Burgess, who recently returned home from French club rugby, and Queensland Reds hooker James Hanson will remain with the squad as training cover.
