I think maybe Taylor starting as a good scrumming hooker, and also probably not want to change more than needed? Really not too many arguments considering injuries etc. Lineouts will be a little interesting, but will not be surprised to sped up ones on ABs throw, and noone is quite like Sam W for defensive lineouts anyway, so won't replace that.

I have a feeling under the roof the ABs will be looking to avoid lineouts and keep the ball in play and tempo high.

Anyone else find it exceedingly odd that Sexton fails an HIA one week then gets named to play the next?

I have thought on it, he failed a HIA test, but not a concussion test? It's only concussion that require stand down? I haven't actually read that he was concussed. That's about my take on it anyway.

It's because Ireland haven't produced a flyhalf besides Sexton in 15 years Mr Velociraptor.
I expect many a young developing flyhalf is accosted by desperate Irish scouts quizzing them on their ancestry and assuring said player that the Irish weather isnt really that bad.

Looks like @Dismal Pillock will need to keep seeing that therapist for a while longer for him to come to terms with some random Cantab making off with the first love of his life when he was six or seven...

Was interested to see on a clip put up on internet (about a completely different thing) at the end you see Michael Hooper doing a cleanout that looked very similar to Barretts, straight into head/shoulder area etc, but like Barretts , I never saw it as a card.

Well as I suspected it seems Sexton was never found to have concussion, the first HIA only shows that there could be concussion.
The HIA is World Rugby’s three-step process to identifying a concussion.
The in-game HIA 1 identifies a suspected concussion, which leads to a player being removed from a game.
But a failed HIA 1 is only officially recognised as a concussion if a player fails a more substantive HIA 2 after the match and the HIA 3, which takes place between 36-48 hours later.
I don't think there realli is too much underhand stuff and does seem probably reasonable to me, as most Drs can't identify concussion in 15 minutes.
