@Pot-Hale do you not think he will take an opportunity to get some combos going that he may want to use later ie guys that haven't played together alot?
I'm thinking in the loose forwards (instead of trotting out the Wales back three) and maybe the centres.
Yes - I agree. I was ignoring combos for this match and just working on rest time.
Some of the possible untried midfield combos are:
Sexton/Farrell/Davies (all previous Lions experience)
Sexton/Te'o/Joseph (Sexton & Te'o/Joseph haven't played together)
Farrell/Henshaw/Davies (Farrell & Davies previous Lions experience)
Farrell/Te'o/Henshaw
Biggar/Henshaw/Joseph
Biggar/Farrell/Payne
Biggar/Te'o/PayneDavies is the only one who played last weekend.
Loose forwards - Stander, O'Mahony and Haskell played last weekend. O'Brien, Faletau, Warburton and Tipuric have previous Lions experience. Moriarty is a newbie.

It'll be after the powhiri and the choral response from the Lions - Thursday earliest I reckon
-
from this morning, the stadium is under 24 hour surveillance with restricted access in the wake of recent attacks around the world

Good to see you are learning Maori time. Next lesson is koha.

Not far off at all on the prediction Pot Hale

Pretty damn good! And I claim my Scottish bingo.
-
pretty strong looking team.
Drove past the stadium earlier, hive of activity, and the field is looking perfect!
Isnt any rain about today (so far) lovely warm winters day!
-
That's a pretty strong side for the Lions. Hopefully the conditions are good.
