    And there's why Wade wasn't named originally. Cannot tackle his dinner. Hogg has put himself out of the 23 too with that last man defending decision to come in. Not what you can have a 15 do at all.

    Aah Rob..... Put a tackle in.

    No 14 is very lightweight.

    tbh, Kearney looked like he had no interest in making that tackle

    Kearney asleep for that tackle, fully expecting the player to cut back outside. Kearney's strength is never tackling tho, so he'll need to impress with his carrying, high ball, kicking and attacking space, and he'll need to play them at 110% to be within a sniff of next week (injuries depending).

    Jesus Best, what was that? He changed his shoulders and hips to throw it towards his try line! Giving the ref no choice.

    Best having a nightmare start. First one was straight but lobbed and low, so easily picked off. Second one clearly crooked.

    Sloppy tackling giving away a try. Restart lands in touch. Now the line out is a mile crooked. What next?

    Wade's speed is unreal tho. Ran the pitch faster than the ball.

    Tommy Bowe just said on Talksport that he expects to be back in full training next week but if it was up to him he'd be doing it now.

    What's the craic with Best? His throws are growing more and more disappointing.

    Tipuric slow to the breakdown when sob is carrying... He needs to watch out for that and not get caught to far apart

    I take back all I said about it being a travesty Best wasn't selected originally. His throwing into lineout has been diabolical and his play around the field has suffered as a result.

    No cohesion in the back line. Making it up as they go along.

    They look like a group of lads that only met for the first time yesterday.

    Oh. Wait.

    Jake White, another heralding SOB... I think everyone in Oz is flabbergasted that SOB isn't in pole position in the back row.

    this was always liable to happen with this thrown together backline.

    hopefully they can click at least a couple of times, because the Lions have a definite edge up front.

    in fact, this would be the perfect game to practice your 10-man rugby. pity Hogg is the number 10 though.

    Absolutely no structure to the backline whenever there is space and time. Pretty embarrassing to watch Hogg receive the ball and look outside seeing nothing happening... Wade is lost, 36 is static and everyone else is just not ready.

    Let alone Best's corroborating all the, prior to this, drastically exaggerated qualms with his throwing.
