Totally agree....In some ways felt sorry for Cuthbert having been dropped after the first test after scoring a fairly decent try and Bowe (as quality as he is) did not deserve to be propelled straight back into the test squad once fit. The only reason he was/is comes down to his defence qualities. Cuthbert can be a little suspect in defence but it just shows the intention is not to go out there and run them all over the park. Again they are going to try and wear them down in the forwards look for territory and kicks!!! If that is the case I cannot see a win on the horizon. I really hope to be proved wrong and just maybe they'll play some actual rugby.
Dont get why gatland hasnt learnt from wales' defeats to the aussies that the game plan he set out wasnt good enough. The sad thing is the Aussies know the predictable game plan thats coming, and already that eases some fears of the unknown when you know the style the opposition are going to play. And the aussie backs r good defenders capable of tackling above their weight, and can turn you over or catch u unawares in the blink of an eye. Not feeling optomistic, just Hope the lions prove me wrong.
