[QUOTE="Regan, post: 851980, member: 41205"] I reckon all the non test matches are going to be a lot closer than one would expect. Personally off to the Canes game so I'll analyse that: Firstly it's the back end of the tour, Lions are going to be getting pretty tired by then, even with such a strong contingent of AB's in our pack we'll field a side like (assuming fit and unpicked for the AB's): 1. Reg Goodes 2. Ricky Riccitelli 3. Jeffery Toomaga-Allen 4. Mark Abbott 5. Vaea Fifita 6. Brad Shields 7. Callum Gibbins 8. Blade Thomson 9. TTT 10. Otere Black 11. Vince Aso 12. Ngani Laumape 13. Matt Proctor 14. Cory Jane 15. Jordie Barrett 16. Leni Apisai 17. Ben May 18. Chris Eves 19. Sam Louisi 20. Reed Prinsep 21. Kylem O'Donnell 22. Peter Umaga-Jensen/ Pita Ahki (with Jordie covering 10) 23. Wes Goosen/ Ben Lam Ok so there's some potential fringe AB's in there that may indeed get picked for the ABs and be unavailable: Jordie, Laumape, Shields (with the injuries), Fifita and even Aso. Jordie and Laumape probably the more likely of the lot. However regardless if they're there or not that's still a decent side coming up against what will be a tired Lions side. Not to mention sides which are going to be at stronger strength like the Maori, Saders etc. [/QUOTE]
