I think only one of these backrowers can start the test. Which one depends on the shape of Farrell's gameplan. It could be Chessum.

Only one of the flankers you mean? Surely Conan is starting regardless, but I understand if Farrell would want to mix and match the heavy hitter and looser flank options.

Aye, Conan is the only realistic 8 option imo if limited.


Great try, midfield handling has shifted centre dimension again.

Bloody hell the wide defence is all over the place, wingers are biting in in every game even before that try

Easy run-in, worryingly..
17 - 26, 51 mins.
messy handling again by BIL, in red zone in lead up.

MSmith getting a pretty good lesson in full backing today.

Another nice ACT try.

Mixed bag as ever from the lions. I like the line out creativity but I am getting pissed off at some of the basic errors (Curry and Aki).

Aki has been effective, Curry a bit frantic…like a lot of the handling

I'd pick Earl or Pollock IF Chessum is the chosen 6. Conan at 8 drops Chessum, IMO.

Two really poor passes though. But he does have his moments it's true.

Not enough tight carrying then. We’ve demonstrated time and again that we need to tie defenders in.

He has? Not seeing it, and that pass to the touch judge was inexcusable.

Really poor from Freeman for the Brumbies try, caught in no-mans land.

I've sympathy for anyone defending a 2 on 1, but you have to commit to someone, but was never in a position to get to either of them
