    Blues look to have a close to full strength side though new England call-up Piers Francis is missing – don’t know if he’s already joined up with the Argentina tour squad? In his place, 20yr Stephen Perofeta starts at 10 after making his first SR start last week against the Reds. SBW carrying a knee injury so doubtful. RL convert Matt Duffie has looked the complete all round Union winger this season.

    Despite being bottom of the NZ conference the Blues have played some decent rugby at times. Faumuina, Luatua and Moala have all looked consistently good although the Ioane brothers have blown a bit hot and cold.

    Should be interesting……

    That’s a very strong pack. It will be be interesting to see how SR philosophy comes up against TestMatch style. Reffing will be key.

    8 All Blacks in there. Rieko Ioane has been superb this season. And Charlie Faumuina has made some of the best passes in the competition 🙂
    Bottom of the NZ lot, halfway down the table in SR. Hope the Lions have got over their jet lag or my 1/10 prediction will come true.

    To be fair there’s no way that should have been a Lions scrum.

    Lions looking a lot more sure of what to do some patterns developing. Conceding a lot of pens though.
    Blues scored a try from and indivudual defensive error from Nowel and a lucky try from SBW

    Bit harsh!

    lucky try from SBW

    but fair…

    Not sure I agree with the SBW try. Yes it was mainly Nowell Backwards, but any touch forward by Blue is a knock on?

    Jack Nowell is having a bit of a mare.

    Hopefully the second half will be a bit better.

    Although he’s just redeemed himself a bit with that tackle.

    He is, but at least he’s looking for work.

    Couldn’t hear it, but they must’ve decided there was no touch by Blue, surely?!

    Was about to say Owens line outs were good. He really doesn’t have the impact around the park a hooker of his weight should have
