@Duluth this game is really must win for both sides.. Morgan being back is good for wellington
JGB has been dropped it seems. Not anywhere to be seen and not on the unavailable list
Morgan being good for Wellington. Agree but it shows how limited the options are at 1st 5.

I think Morgan has looked by far the best at running a team VS Love/JGB, he's shown great maturity for such a young player.
I would still have Love starting at 15. Seems a bit stupid having two old wings. Not sure why we don't start CGB in one of those wing positions.

I mean no disrespect to Lennox, but he is no Perofeta, for me that is probably the deciding factor for me that says Welly take this one. Taranaki looked a different team when he was involved last week.
-
Lovely try by Peter Umaga Jensen. We look so much better with Morgan at 10. His passing is slick.
-
Looking a lot slicker with Morgan at first. His goal kicking is not good enough though
-
Aumua with another strong start to this game. Getting back to his best me feels.
-
First Welly try by NMS. Wellington looking like a different side with Morgan at 10.

Hope Wellington can keep this up for the full 80
Morgan makes a big difference but his goal kicking is awful. Surely someone else in the team can do better

@Winger that wind is all over the place tbf. The best kickers in the world have trouble on these sorts of days.
Didn’t Sexton describe the Cake Tin as the hardest place to kick.
The Lions need to help Morgan and score closer to the posts.
