Queensland Reds v British & Irish Lions

Reckon Fin will get a good 30 minutes. Will be interesting to see how close that pack is to the one which starts the first test.
 
Tuipulotu is the only player with 160 mins on the tour.

The situation at 9 hasn't been great and in part can't be helped mainly as its limited the opportunities to look at the expected test pairing of JGP and Russell. If JGP was fit to play last weekend I dont think either of them would have started on Wednesday.

There's only two games after Wednesday's fixture you'd expect what Farrell sees at the test 15/23 to start a game before the tests so either the Waratahs or more likely the Brumbies. I'm not sure if you'd take a risk putting out many of your test starters against the invitational side a week out from the first test?
 
Infuriates me.

Ben Spencer is certainly better than him but I suppose he has a pre existing relationship with Russell.
Club level... maybe, but not certain.
International level... 100% the other way around.

For the Lions, the pecking order ought to be White > JvP > Spencer, and even then I can' escape the feeling that I'm missing someone ahead of BS
