[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 995137, member: 65365"] The Richie Gray, Beirne (playing number 8) talk was just me demonstrating an example of how wrong you could go if trying to beat the boks at their own game. [USER=13739]@dullonien[/USER] Adam beard was always meant as a question to those looking to add size to the pack, as I’m relatively unfamiliar with him. He has played well when I’ve seen him and has played blindside according to Wikipedia so was interested in others opinions. personally, I think you should focus on who best fits the style you want to play, and don’t make that the same style the boks want to play. You might need a touch of compromise but make sure you don’t take it too far I’d be going with something like Sutherland George Furlong Ryan Itoje Curry Underhill Faletau (if he finds form) (otherwise) Wilson reserves Healy or marler ? Sinckler Ball (if he’s better in the scrum) (otherwise) kruis B vunipola replacement options would include vunipola coming on with faletau moving to 6, ball or kruis coming on with itoje moving to 6. And Curry can move from 6 to 7. those above who don’t make the 23 should still go on the plane. and if that lineup doesn’t work in the first test due to being too small don’t give up, just change who starts vs who finishes For example, Starting 8 could be Sutherland George Furlong Ball Ryan Itoje Curry B vunipola finishing 8 could be Healy ? Sinckler Ryan Itoje Curry Underhill Faletau take that further, to the 15 Test 1 starting xv Sutherland George Furlong Ryan Itoje Curry Underhill Faletau Murray Russell Adams Tuilagi Ring rose May Williams finishing 15 Healy ? Sinckler Ball Ryan/itoje Itoje/faletau/Curry Underhill/Curry Vunipola Davies Farrell/Russell Adams/may Tuilagi/farrell Ringrose/tuilagi May/Williams Hogg who come on for whom depends on how game is going. and if the game plan didn’t work, don’t give up just change starting and finishing lineups for the next test starting Xv Sutherland George Furlong Ryan Ball Itoje Curry Vunipola Davies Farrell May Tuilagi Ringrose Williams Hogg finishing xv Healy ? Sinckler Ryan Itoje Curry Underhill Faletau Murray Russell Adams Tuilagi Ringrose May Williams [/QUOTE]
