If Gats is to be beleived these players HAVE to start, so who would you play and why?

Hogg is trying to run it too much :/

Good advantage from the ref.

Hope they consider that in the second half.

Good tackle Tommy....he looks knackered though.

Youngs needs to step back as a sweeper like Phillips does

Hoggy may be subbed soon. He's been knocked about a fair bit.

I like Hogg but he's just rushing things right now

Thats his game. Don't want a counter attacking FB don't play him
Made couple of breaks and a couple of good clearing kicks

8. Heaslip
7. Tipuric
6. Place your bets (probably sam)

Reds are a lot better at blocking the the lions at the minute. Some of the lions players looking tired.

Incredible pace to this game. Almost like Super XV.

We're getting roasted at the breakdown

I was joking around with you. Jesus Christ man, you woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning. But thanks for proving my point for me.

This back row combination could have done with a run out against less organized opposition just to clear the cobwebs away.

That was some length of an advantage played by Garces. He's bowing to crowd pressure.

He's ALWAYS super

Missed penalty from Cooper.

Still 7-6.

I still think he needs to work on when to run and when to kick. He's young so has plenty of time.

NORTH!

You have to play the game in front of you - not counter without support against 2 players

OH! Did he get that down???? Didn't look like it.

Anyone else thinking Farrell is actually playing well?
Plenty of running and passing, things he's been accused of not doing

FK sake

North is just something else.

He can't be eligible for the lions he's from Krypton.

Oh Farrell... so close yet ... as Hooks says.

How does Farrell not score that???
Such a shame fantastic play by North in the build up.

Are you allowed to do that? Delib knock on?

Awesome pass by North

Another screwed up finish under pressure though

I though he was in there

No he lost it! Good defence by the Reds dude. Is it a knock on though?

He is playing reakly well but should have scored

Farrell has been very enterprising.

nice bit of play from Youngs and North. Great tackle also

Wtf!???

He made that good break earlier but got isolated. He's certainly turning up tonight though.

You have made numerous personal attacks on me and others. Just calm down and grow up.

You're all just as bad going on about it. Why not "be the bigger man" and leave it.

+1

Knock on by the Lions?! Since when!?

Yeah, couple of iffy up and under, otherwise he has been good

Terrible tmo call!

Deffo try

Should of been a yellow and pen to the lions.

Very intelligent play by Youngs. Great try?

North and Bowe pretty much nailed down for the spots.

Will Greenwood has the perfect voice for a train station announcer.

Wales - I think Farrell's having a much better game today so far.

Who is the TMO? He's making some stupid decisions. Is he confused by the Reds team and Reds shirts?

Young showing what he can do snipping around the fringes

Did he knock on though

Great heads up play by Youngs, it'll be a knock on though

Try? WTF?

Good pressure Ben Youngs!

TRY given anyway!

7-11 at 34 minutes. Good work Ben Y!

Good work by Youngs, put good pressure on the creaking scrum

Would be my choice.

Frisby is all over the place like a frizbee...
