There's your Test back row
 Does BOD move to 10 if Hogg gets injured?????? Or Halfpenny maybe at 10? What concerns me is for example 12,13 11 are nailed on Test starters....do they play again this Saturday? You definitely don't want them playing Tuesday week, too close to the Test. Good news for AWJ..likely to start on Sat with POC. |

I hope thats the test back-row but it could also be the dirttracking one as well..... bit unlucky for Hogg to be playing again but with kearney's ongoing injury he had to play saturday gone & this is the game to give the proven 10's a rest. also a big unlucky for Gray too who thought had a good game saturday, almost like Gatts has a pre-conceived idea that wyn-jones/poc will be the starting Locks. As for the back three Zebo's arrival can't come quick enough to give North/Cuthbert a break

i'm genuinely shocked at them pressing hogg into service at 10 especially after a very demanding game on sat. although he did play 10 as a youth he does not cover that position for his club.
i suppose being thrown in at the deep end is a one way to find out if he sinks or swims |

Hook would have been useful.

who will do the kicking today ?
|
|
By:
Conor Murray is a decent kicker
 |
|
By:
This will be try after try 0-150
|

By:
On paper this an exercise canter for the Lions. hard to see Hogg being tested against these.
The main aim will be to avoid any further injuries. |
|
By:
the lions might score more than the west indies do against india at the cricket today
|

could get very messy this game....huge score the bare minimum given the opposition..
|
|
By:
Heaslip or OBrien to score 2 ?? I thought OBrien had a lot of chances last time picking up and going from a few yards out. Opposition today a lot weaker and he would need a performance to try and cement a place - what do you think
|
|
By:
just backed BOD to score anytime at 1/3 on slybet
|
|
By:
Gone for OBrien at 4-5 anytime and 2 or more at 16-5 with Paddys as they refund it if the first tryscorer is a forward.

By:
I thought union was supposed to be professionals these days - they need to have a serious look at league on how to run with the ball and how to move the ball quickly - this has been painful to watch

By:
credit to country but poor from the lions
|
|
By:
Sean O Brien was interviewed after the game by Will Greenwood and was sakes about his try. As he asked the question WG jokingly commented that there were 5 players outside him. SOB's answer that when he saw a back in front of him he was never going to pass or words to that effect.
Anyone else agree that this answer aptly describes a major flaw in SOB's game . A robust ball carrier who often takes the wrong decision in possession |

Tongue in cheek reply I imagine.
I do know what you are getting at, but I don't think 'often' is a fair description. |
