2 Lions lineouts in a row lost now.

Aye. Lawes has had some good contributions as well.


Book front row has been quite good so far.

Struggling badly to retain our own ball. Uncomfortably like watching Scotland from a few years ago.

The Lions back row has been no where IMO. Itoje is doing their job for them. Bar one carry from Conan.

Lawes past it. Conan out of his depth (not helped by Faletau being dogsh*t during the tour leaving a selection headache) and Curry on a mission to give away dim pens.

Both have been dynamic in the loose and on defense.

If this is the game plan then theybarw as well taking Daly and VdM off and getting Farrell and Williams on.

They definitely tried to buy that last one. The hooker and LHP both stood up.

Misdirection. He's giving the Lions something inconsequential now as a smokescreen for giving a real homer of a call later on.
