[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 859680, member: 72977"] Midweek team finally replicated the defence and control of the weekend team. At the moment Warburton is the only back row player who hasn't look part of a functioning back row. Thought this back row of Tipuric, Haskell and Stander was the same against the loss to the blues. For me though the main feature was the use of the backs. Far more passing, though I also think Daly and Nowell came off their wings more than other wings have in previous games to look for the ball. Nowell's first try was from a ruck that was miles from his wing. I think though it does need to be taken with a pinch of salt as the Chiefs clearly were second best. It'll be a tricky time for Gatland deciding between Daly, Nowell and Williams. However I think he'll stick with his original plan for this weekend. However if the Lions lose and the Tuesday team gets another good win, then I can see lots of changes, especially in the backs. [/QUOTE]
