[QUOTE="TopTen2003, post: 861846, member: 75257"] So for me I don't think POM is being made a scapegoat but rather an acknowledgement that the Lions have focussed on the breakdown area this week. The great irony of course this week that it may well lash it down on Saturday which would have suited him to a tee! The bench does have a serious amount of impact this week but I would argue that there were players who should be starting and then players who would have been equally awesome bench options. (E.g Lawes starting, Hendo on the bench, AWJ dropped & Tipuric/Stander over Warbs with him dropped and one of them on the bench). Has anyone got a blinkin' clue on what the defensive plan for Sonny Bill might be? Gatland mentions the importance of it in the presser but he's picked Sexton-Farrell...? Will Davies line up at 12 in defence with Farrell taking the outside runners? [/QUOTE]
