Good to see A-WJ on the bench. Give him a fair work out and see how he is. It will be interesting to see if Marcus Smith can make the step up too. It would be fantastic if he put himself in the mix but I doubt it will happen on this tour.

Good on Smith, you never know.

Beard (and Navidi) justified their air tickets already.

Make or break for many here.

Can't wait.

Stormers leading 3-0.

[sparky]

Lions have now taken control. 14-3.

[sparky]

21-3 at half time. Lions forwards dominant.

[MiketheSnow]

Good first half considering it looks like bar of soap time out there

Jones, LCD, Furlong is now my test front row
If you start LCD then George is a better impact player

If AWJ comes through this, then
Itoje AWJ
Beard on the bench

Curry, Watson, Faletau

Price should start
Excellent performance

Biggar

Henshaw Daly

Watson, Williams, Hogg

[MiketheSnow]

Welcome to the show Marcus Smith

You belong

[ARHS]

LCD and Watson are class acts. Have to start in the tests
