Honestly the best result from this Lions tour could be the demise of Farrells international career. If we could move to Ford/Smith (neither at center, just one at 10 and the other on the bench) it would be great. Also switch them regularly.
Also dropped significantly over last season.
So who would you start, because honestly I don't think either of George or Owens have stood out to say pick me.
I think Owens and George have done alright. It's a 50-50 call imo. I just think Owens is a harder **** which you need against the South Africans. Gatland really likes George, though, so won't be surprised if Owens is out of the match day squad.
Yep. Impact subs are important but not as important as having the significantly better player on the pitch for far longer.
I think it was likely just a case of making up numbers in training. With Covid/various knocks/regular games being played there's no harm in bringing in a guy like Kelleher who can fill the hooker's role and is also athletic enough to fill in as a back rower during training.
As I said, what he offers more is being a hard ****. I can't see these test matches being easy on the eye. Well, depends what you like I suppose. You should be all for it, you know, *props should be props and all that. I'd obviously disagree that he offers nothing outside the set piece but each to their own.
I think the Welsh have a very different perception of their players than the rest of the world do
I'm just talking about him and George. Comparing that quality between the 2. 90% of it is mentality and 100% of this is complete guesswork based on nothing but perception and bias just like the majority of people on the planet.
