eddoakley Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 As poor as the back 3 were they can't do anything without the ball. Wyn Jones, Ken Owens into front row. Maybe Burne in at 6? What's the other options at 7 and 8? I'd look at those too. That might give 9 and 10 a chance, I'd keep Biggar and maybe Ali Price. Welsh back 3? Basically I think apart from 4,5 and 10 every place should be up for grabs. Nobody has impressed. See what Gats does but I don't think he can be cautious.

That's then the high ball sorted. 4 hours ago, twenty said: van de merwe I'd drop him just for the trip, those things don't get missed at this level, if he had been red carded its game over. I've not watched the highlights yet to see what I missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edd Josh Navidi, Hamish Watson and Sam Simmonds are the back row options, with Tadhg Beirne as you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest the Boks did nothing exciting either. Lions were poor at best. Hope for changes, lots of changes. Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Some odd changes in the line up. Hogg had to go but some surprise omissions from the squad of 23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2021/08/03/lions-team-announcement-third-test-warren-gatland-tour-2021/ Meanwhile the likes of England captain Owen Farrell, who was in line to win his 100th cap, Scotland captain Stuart Hogg and Wales No 8 Taulupe Faletau drop out of the matchday squad following the fractious 27-9 defeat to South Africa that lasted more than two hours. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Very odd indeed, I'd hoped Farrell would start, but it looks like Gatland is hoping the Welsh can smash their way to victory??
