[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 854394, member: 12190"] Although I agree with your player ratings from Saturday, you underestimate Sextons importance to the tour in my opinion. We need to get him back to form or we're in trouble. Biggar will probably be better on Wednesday than Sexton was on Saturday but that doesn't mean he has the ability to get the best out of the backs outside him. It's not as if I think Biggar is a bad rugby player, the point is the lions have picked a mostly exciting set of backs who will need to be able to score tries if we are to stand a chance against the All Blacks, and unfortunately Biggar is not the man to make that happen. Even given his shakey form I'd be very surprised not to see Sexton in every test 23. [/QUOTE]
