The Silver Fern

That's a pretty impressive Lions 23 there and on paper stronger in several places. 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, most of the bench.
However it doesnt have a lot of combinations and timing yet so not as string as it looks.
It will be the toughest pack the saders have faced this year and so the backs wont have the full armchair ride they have been enjoying ... armchair lite maybe.
I'd certainly feel happier with Read or Douglas as an addition in the mix.
Havilli at 12 is a clear move to stop Teo getting any momentum in my view, he has one job and that is to stop teo giving the lions any go-forward.
Cant wait.
