Lions test goal kicker

First topic message reminder :


This may of course change depending on form in the opening games but assuming Sexton is first choice 10 and Halfpenny likely first choice 15 (or if not, is likely to be at 14), who should be 1st choice goal kicker?

It's a massive, likely series defining decision. Gatland got it wrong in the World Cup by sticking with Priestland/jones/Hook ahead of Halfpenny who only got the long range ones. Fortunately it changed after Preistland's meltdown vs Ireland in 2012 and Tuppence hasn't looked back.

Big call for the coaches.

It usually is

Not in the Six Nations. It's a fifty fifty split
