Lions v Blues
-
It seems to me that they see the 3 locks as interchangeable with 1 of them rotated onto the bench - Tuipulotu was on the bench week 1, GCT in week 2 and Scrafton this week.
Maybe also they think Scrafton on the bench will help balance the second half slump the Blues have been having? Bringing on a hard worker off the pine to help the Blues battle against the altitude?
Proof will be in the pudding.

Half time: 21 - 10 to the Lions.
Blues are really struggling to get through the Lions' defence. Also giving away a lot of penalties. Gatland-Nock combo not working. I suspect the effect of altitude that will kick in during the 2nd half, will make it even harder for the Blues to catch up.

Wow, another try from Rieko! The subs have had a positive influence and have sped up the game considerably.
Ruru + Perofeta is miles better than Nock + Gatland.More cohesion and the Team is really moving forward.

SBW is pretty disappointing though.
Duffie's defence has been suspect, he still comes in and exposes his Wing.

Not just Duffie's defence. Lions strike back immediately.
35 -24 to the Lions with 6 minutes to go.
