Western Force v Lions - Rnd 10

[Brumby Runner]

How many real Springboks are in that squad? Their success surely says a heap about the very effective coaching setup at the Lions.

What's the reason for Lance being on the bench again? Has he not been in good form?

The word "real" is somewhat evocative. I look at it a bit differently - next Bok team should be the Lions + friends in Dark Green jumpers. Noone else gets in unless it suits the Lions style and strategy and only where combinations can be effected.

To be fair, it might trouble the ABs too much, but I'm not sure too many other squads would face them with confidence.

One thing for sure, agree with you on the coaching. Losing Johan to Europe is a poor outcome for SA.

been heaps of injuries-probably holding Lance back to fill any position in the backline as required

Lance on the bench to bring a mature head in second half if Short in at scrumhalf.

Naisarani for wallaby squad.

Naisarani for wallaby squad.

He doesn't qualify

 

[ChargerWA]

Prior needs to get to the rucks quicker and move the ball faster when he gets there.

He doesn't qualify

Has he represented Fiji at rep level or it is the 4 year wait deal?

 

[ChargerWA]

God damn Brache is a concern at the back. He'll turn style 3 tries in tonight.

Has about 2 years to go

That Newsome is a handy player. Taken some good options in defence

Those NRC pathways are really opening up. Force snaveled both Newsome and Naisarani off NRC form.

 

[ChargerWA]

These Lions are well coached.

Sigh, I can see it already. The Highlanders are gonna have to go and play the Lions in South Africa again. They basically are a lock for second (maybe first) on the ladder. Given that they are quite good but also have the easiest fixture list of any team in the comp.
