[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 859678, member: 72977"] The problem is that he has had one very bad game. The other big issue is that attacking wise, many of the wings have not had a chance to show their skills. I would say North has not done much, definitely less than Watson in similar circumstances, but we are talking about very little time on the ball with space here. Would North have been able to finish Nowell try? I think probably. On the other hand North is an unknown, so you could say even if Nowell has played badly once, he's also played well once and North has done neither. The wing is very difficult, because some players have been judged on poor performances when the team has lost, yet North has been in the winning weekend team everytime without doing much at all. I'd say only Watson has looked consistent with the little ball the wings get. I think it's a risk playing North as his form is hot and cold, but I can see Gatland sticking with him. However if the Lions lose or North has a bad game then someone might have a chance in the next tests, especially if they perform in the last Tuesday game. [/QUOTE]
