[QUOTE="Red Enigma, post: 866620, member: 75347"] Every time a team changes around their backline in a test or finals series they tempt fate and often lose. It certainly applies to the AB's and I hope like hell Boyd and co stick with the side that has run riot for most of the season. Perenara, BB, Laumape, Aso, Nene, Jules and Jordie, with CJ off the bench. The key forward they need playing is Abbott, sorely missed in set plays when out. If Coles gets the last 30 minutes it will be like having 4 loose forwards just when they are a very dangerous commodity. Couple of passing comments. Hard to fault the "Canes defence - just look at their stats and remember they never gave away a try in the whole finals series last season. And what idiots managed to produce a draw which gave the Lions not one game against a kiwi side. If they had even a couple The Crusaders would have probably topped the comp. The Cane's walloped them in SA last year before eventually winning the final. The draw absolutely defies logic unless it was done solely by the staff of the Lions! I doubt if it would stand up to any legal challenge as it is cruelly unfair and will certainly never be allowed to happen again. C'mon "Canes, strut your stuff in Canberra and show the AB selectors what the World's best backline looks like! [/QUOTE]
