Just thinking here, but what are the run out of a really nice ass team this saturday now
Murray/Farrell 9/10 combo, as neither have started a game yet
George starting Hooker maybe?
Jonathon Davies I'd imagine at 13, with maybe Hogg given another chance to shine at FB, and can see both Liam Williams and George North playing Saturday too, despite Williams brain fart today
Theres probably some others but at least the backs look more promising for Saturday? My Positive mindset is probably really showing through here right now
Also on the first two matches, looking at the fly halves, Sexton is a solid fly half who on top form is great defensively, has a good wrap around play and can control territory. He doesnt necessarily play that well on the line, or personally I've not really viewed him like that. Biggar is a lesser version of Sexton in a lot of ways, his main threat being the high balls, and solid defensively. Its why I wish we'd had Finn Russell over Biggar, as he's managed to look a good player with Laidlaw giving him the damn ball!!!
Im hoping Farrell has really developed as a 10 this last year, as he could actually be far and away our most creative 10 on tour. A lack of second ball players at 12 limits our running abilities out wide big time, as we've seen with Wales for several years where they've really struggled to use North, and Williams to an extent, effectively.
Anyway we'll see what happens, but our passing quality has been pretty poor, certainly not world class so far, and thats part of the reason for our poor backline performances so far
