British and Irish Lions 2025: Talking points after tourists beat Brumbies
Everyone could see where the lions were fighting the most – malfunction. They have tried all kinds of different combinations and still harassing, they are still hunting from the future of the glutton Australia, and they are still pingge by the referees who follow them closely. Your lions now have a reputation on the ground and this is not good.
Against Pumas, head coach Andy Farrell, Tom Curry, Jac Morgan and Ben Earl went to six, seven and eight years old. Tadhg Beirne, Josh van der Flier and Henry Pollock were against his power in Perth.
A few days later, against the Reds in Brisbane, Curry, Morgan and Jack Conan. Then Beirne, Van der Flier and Earl Waratahs (Charlie Gamble, an old beer distributor man exploded the show.
And against Brumbies, Ollie Chessum, Curry and Conan.
Farrell wants to give a chance for all the back rows, but now he did it, and he still did not hit a trio that could effectively deal with most Wallabies against competitors who were still seriously hearered from the international class. Provincial teams, how to get full power parties, how would these games be?
Problems continue to be. Chessum is the horse of an aggressive and changing man, so maybe the box in Blindsy. Conan has moved great again on Wednesday and will be number eight. Who is the seven?
Against Brumbes, Curry was given the chance to play the test team and did not really convince him. Does Farrell continue? Is he sending Morgan? Or is Van der Flier returning with seven Ireland and a man he knows better than others?
Morgan is the closest thing Lions has an old school floor. He’s glorifying the head. We go round and round. One of the few major elections dilemmas left by the coaches before the first test.
