I must say I'd have JJ at 13, to add x-factor. Then Te'O as a finisher. But expect Gats to play it straight and go for Farrell/Te'O/Davies, with JJ bench. Still a chance of Daly or L Williams squeezing into a start if either lays down the gauntlet on Tuesday.
So you have a Webb, Sexton, Joseph bench?
If so, two of Daly, Watson, Williams miss out
That's the way it looks. But clear that William or Daly can play their way in tomorrow. BTW am I right that North is usually a right wing: Daly and Williams usually operate on left? If so, a switch to his usual might aid things.

North has been playing 14 / right wing for Wales. Had to check the numbers myself after the MAB match

I'll piss myself if any of the 'Unworthies' have a stormer / score a try / get MOTM 😂

I'm fucking hoping that Best, Henderson, Haskell and Stander go on a whirlwind followed by Henshaw, Payne and Daly running in six tries with Marler taking the conversions and in the post-game interviews, Best does a straight face in which he says - "well we felt we should show the lads how it should be done for Saturday, and get our side of the job complete, now it's over to them. Isn't that right, Warren?
-
The MABs are really disruptive.
Weaken the teams playing the game before them, and after them.
Really disappointed not to se DMac get another pressure game, but this time at 15. However. Stevenson is a keeper (based on his running game), very interested to see how he goes. I want to see some pin point bombs.
-
Just to confirm, this is tonight right?
Oh, and Warren, if Sir Stephen wants to show and go, there is fuck all you can do about it. Accept it, know your role.

Was talking about the Welsh and Scots brought in over the weekend.

@mariner4life yep game is tonight.

Scots first five Finn Russell will be over the moon.....fresh from winning MOM in the victory over Oz instead of jetting off for a jaunt in Fiji with his teammates he gets rewarded with a seat on the bench with a bunch of Welsh losers no one has even heard of.
In Hamilton.

I was a bit 'meh' at the time of the ballot, but predictably now that the tour has arrived I wish I was there.
Was in the Tron for work this morning before returning to the land of Plenty, and it was one of the few times I've strongly wished I was staying in Hamilton for longer
Quite a few Lions supporters wandering around, including a couple bravely travelling in a campervan with a baby.Reminded me of 12 years ago ahead of the NZ Maori game. I was opening up the changing rooms at Marist to get them ready for the team and a Lions supporter turned up from a nearby campervan, keen to use a shower. He'd had a good night the night before and was looking forward to another one.
Great fun to see all the fans out and about and enjoying themselves. Hoping (though not expecting) the Chiefs ruin the party tonight though

Silly mistakes have cost the Chiefs possesion and territory.

I don't think you'll see him bitching & moaning
-
Lions were miles offside after the Pulu break. That really has not been reffed well this series for either side.
-
That should really be red, late and no arms. Cheap shot.
