[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1028099, member: 73144"] Unquestionably I’d have Faletau as my Lions 8 - he’s tough enough, experienced and a smart footballer who’s in form. Not sure on 6 but I think it might be a flanker / lock hybrid type - Beirne / Lawes / Itoje. There’s a big physical battle coming our way and we just can’t afford to lose it. Plus (shudders) additional line out options. At 7 some very good players will miss out including the GOAT Justin. Watson’s good, Curry’s an obvious call but if he’s gone OK for Bath I’d go Underhill, just for that extra physicality. Agreed but if players are all the way across the pitch they must be fairly thinly spread. You could even try something radical like a driving maul to tie opponents in.....but I guess ‘earning the right to go wide’ is so last millennium. [/QUOTE]
