[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1038346, member: 45598"] Whatever about the pack the backlines available are about as far from NZ style rugby as you'll find. In terms of NH sides who are successful against SA, Ireland would be the ones to look at, we broke a 60 year duck in 04 and have a winning record since. A strong line out, a traditional backrow, at least one ball playing front row, a 10 and midfield who'll control the pace and territory of the game and a back three who will chase anything usually does the job. No chance the Lions have a midfield to do that, the 10 and 6 options aren't the best available for it and you'd be a lot happier with Gray and/or Ryan about the place too. I think he's got his back three and front row correct minus Sinckler and there's problems everywhere else. [/QUOTE]
