We don't risk doing it, we are doing it. Have been doing it for some time. Not sure I can be bothered with another go on this merry go round right now.
I am bemused by the idea that Ross is any different to Lee mind. Although, if you want your prop to scrummage and do nothing else, I think I'd prefer Ross over Lee. Problem is Ross is basically dead by now.
The half-backs are more interesting, largely because I've got no idea how the hell that one's going to shake out. Nobody at fly-half feels like they're bolted on to even be part of the squad. I can even see something totally mad like Paddy Jackson or Finn Russell getting the nod with a couple of injuries.
Murray is definitely in pole position for me at scrum-half though. The thing I want most from my half-backs against EnZed is a territorial game. We won't beat them if we're constantly fluffing our exits and struggling to play in the right areas of the pitch. I'm not prepared to sacrifice the ability to get the back line moving to get it but once a half-back has achieved basic competence at that, I'll take the guys with the best decision making and kicking. Which right now on top form is, I think, Murray and Ford.
