Nowell!!!!!!!


Finally a god damn backs try.

Take him off now and put him on the wing Saturday instead of North !
 
Hm... Perhaps we start with 14 AB players to give the Lions a try-scoring chance... Haha.
 
That was a backs try for sure but good to see Haskell working getting in first to make that clearout following Henshaw going to ground. Really worked hard to get there or it would have been a penalty for holding on.
 
Nah Nowell would be ripped apart by the AB's IMO.

To be honest I don't get this opinion at all. Nowell had a really bad start to this tour, I think it was partly over excitement and eagerness but he is simply one of the best defensive wingers in the northern hemisphere. He's proven that at international level.

Defensively he is too slow against the wingers the AB have, and has been caught out multiple times.

In the NH the teams don't tend to find space as quickly as they do in NZ.
