Lions 2013: Jamie Roberts is a big threat, says Australia scrum-half Will Genia It certainly did not seem to affect his game. He is preparing himself for another intense battle, especially with Mike Phillips back at scrum-half for the Lions. "He likes to get his hands on the ball and run and get stuck in," said Genia, who has come out on top in most of the encounters between the No 9s. He's abrasive, he's physical. Genia expects a more uncompromising encounter than if Australia were playing the All Blacks. "The All Blacks like to play really fast, up-tempo rugby, they speed everything up, there are very few stoppages during the game so you never have time to catch a breath," said Genia. The difference with the Lions is that they really enjoy the physical side of things. They're probably masters of the set-piece, they like to play that stop-start game where they get to the set-piece, get ascendancy and look to take three points wherever they can. Genia agrees with his coach, Robbie Deans, that the Wallabies have yet to really hit their straps but senses that they are about to do just that. "We've just got to make sure we start well," he says. We've been chasing the game a little bit too much in the last two Tests, and playing off the back foot. As for the Lions experience, Genia said: "I'll never forget it. I feel so lucky, blessed and privileged to be a part of this series. Just the intensity and passion a Lions tour brings to Australia is incredible to be a part of. I've loved every second of it.
