Vickery tells Adam to give Beast a stuffing

ADAM Jones was told by Phil Vickery to "make sure you stuff him" after being picked to face 'The Beast' in tomorrow's second Test.

Vickery lost his place to Jones after being put through the mincer by Springbok loose-head prop Tendai Mtawarira in the Lions' 26-21 first Test defeat last weekend.

Jones and Scarlets hooker Matthew Rees have both been rewarded for their performances off the bench in Durban and will start alongside Gethin Jenkins to form the Lions' first all-Welsh Test front row since 1955.

Jones is ready to invoke the spirit of 1997 by emulating the performances of Irish prop Paul Wallace, whose ability to turn the tables on Springbok Os du Randt was a key factor in the Lions' series victory.

"Everyone can see he is a big strong bloke. He hasn't been playing there that long so I will have to pull any tricks out of the bag to stop him pushing me backwards," said Jones.
