[QUOTE="duncanb, post: 550978, member: 51286"] IMHO the reason why teams can turn over is due to speed of a player wether 7 or not getting to tackle/breakdown first on his feet or not if quicker than ref ; teams that are turned over is due to lack of supporting players and players clearing out quickly enough at breakdown. It could be a point that a genuine 7 is a player who is the first up tackler who then allows another to turnover before a ruck can form or is quick enough back to feet to turnover himself as a 'Pocock' for example and a McCaw is a good example of a player off his feet who is quicker than the ref. My own choice at present for what we have in NH is Tipuric but he is not as good as either Pocock/McCaw or Hooper. If the Lions select some Forwards with abit of pace around the breakdown/tackle area's then wether an allout 7 is select will be not as much of an issue. We all have our own choice's for positions of the starting 15 but my pack would contain players with speed in relation to their position as whilst the Aussie pack may not be the strongest in the world they are a fairly quick unit.
