[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 260961"] Richie Rees is the main weakness in that Blues lineup. They should tell him to get the ball out and let Nicky control the came. If he does his usual running up blind alleys, Leicester will have plenty of turn-over posetion! I'm just not a fan atall, he's average in just about every aspect of his game, not a great passer of the ball, not that quick, not atall intelligent and although he's aggressive and pretty strong, he's not on the same level as someone like Phillips. As soon as Cooper arrives to add some much needed zip at the back of scrums and rucks the better, develop Allinson into the backup as he's a far more gifted player that Rees. I have full confidence in the boys, they are fully capable of taking this game by the scruff of the neck and controling it from the kick-off. This should mean a game played at the Blues pace (controlled, but with bursts of speed and power). Expect Tom James and Leigh Halfpenny to come into midfield and create havok, they are the perfect foil for the two bashers at centre. They really have got great balance in their entire 22, Powell to come on when Rush or Molatika begin to tire and carry on from where Rush left off and prove his Lions place was the right call. God I'm looking forward to this now. Wish I could have gone to see it. Stupid uni work :( [/QUOTE]
