Very suprised at this team. Didnt think Gats would do it and use his normal cautious approach. More optimistic now after seeing that 15. He wont play Sanjay 15 for Wales but will for Lions 😂 Get behind the team. We wasnt gonna beat them defending.
Williams is going to lose the match for the lions. Over under on penalties?
Initial impressions
Don't get Williams ahead of Halfpenny
Don't have any other major issues
Johny v Farrell
Close call
Itoje v Jones
Close call
North not even on bench
Reasonable as he has not lived up to his usual standard
Now everyone behind them
Let's kick *** Saturday
Great team, I would have CJ Stander over Warburton, more impact off the bench and someone the All Blacks are scared of, Sam is bread and butter to them
I think Kruis play 50 mins before itoje gets on AWJ just brings experience and can last 80mins
Can only see halfpenny swapping with Williams so he doesn't cover many positions
agreed Paul..... we already have two very good kickers in Farrell Sexton and also a very good long range kicker in Daly which makes halfpenny a really bad option of the bench.... I would have Nowell ( brilliant last game) , North (not been great form but in big games he always shows up) or Henshaw ( again not been at his best in attack but his defense has been brilliant, and can play 13 or 15 which are his best positions anyway)
