DHL Stormers vs British & Irish Lions

Atleast the Stormers have got confidence in their running ability out wide. Unfortunately the Stormers has too much confidence in their running ability out wide.
 
So the Lions are showing their hands even though Gatland pretends it is hidden below the table.

They like the close support runner, with the tackled player offloading before hitting the ground. The support runner is always on the inside and opposite side of where they were running (side to side, not lenght wise)

They love their pick and go and LCD will be instrumental to this.

He wants them to maintain an intensity that hopefully for him can not be sustained by the opposition. The breakdowns are not prioritized In favour of a more aggressive defensive line.
 
Stormers player: "ball goes fast, better duck the **** out of its way."
