          Probably not enough class there to beat the midweek Lions team, but if the guys upfront get enough ball and Beaver can have one more great game directing things around, there is enough danger there to cause problems.

            Wow. That is a surprisingly weak team. Where are the other Maori players?

              Hopefully hanging their heads in shame.

                Yeah. Pretty much the core of the team not there.
                Dmac, Hames and Lowe were pretty poor last night but surely they are worth another go for the Chiefs.
                TKB i could understand if the ABs wanted him in camp but the others plus Ngatai would make this team a whole lot stronger.

                  Exactly. I wasn't expecting to see TKB, but not amused to see DMac, Ngatai, Lowe, Hames etc missing. Unless they are injured, they should be there. If Messam can front, so can they.

                    Pathetic.

                    Can't back up 3 days later? some members of the Lions are doing that each week this tour.

                    Pathetic. Soft.

                      not to mention the Maori backs did little other than drop catches/passes last night...

                        Maybe Rennie was only prepared to let them face the Lions once on tour?

                                Very firmly a mid-week team with only Liam Williams in with a shot of making the Test 23.

                                Daly and AWJ will be there, and Biggar if Farrell is injured.

                                Cory Hill covering second and back row.

                                If the Lions play as a team, and players like Nowell, Payne and Henshaw show why they were selected in the first place then this could be a comfortable win.

                                If players go looking for a Test spot it could unravel pretty quickly.

                                And there are certainly 2nd abd 3rd Test spots up for grabs.

                                  I'm trying really hard but I can't think of a crapper winger than Nowell.....and he's not even Welsh!

                                    Tours are fascinating.

                                    Remarkable how some players can go so off the boil and others come charging through.

                                        He's a lot better than he has shown on tour, but he is definitely NOT your classic winger, for one thing he doesn't have the pace at the highest level. His game is all about popping up all over the place, beating the first defender and then seeing what eventuates after that. He took a little while to find his niche with England and has benefitted under Eddie Jones who appreciates what he brings and uses it.

                                        Having said all that, for the Lions with the short assimilation time and also the more direct way Gatland likes to play, I would have taken Johnny May in preference purely because he would fit that bit better. Oh and he does have pace.

                                          With most players getting limited game time they ahem to lay their marker down early. If for whatever reason the game goes away from you, it's a long way back. Some are lucky enough to turn things around. Look at O'Mahoney after his first game, many had written him off and now some have him as captaining the test side. Sadly for Henshaw for a number of reasons he has not been able to turn things round as yet.

                                            Bah, shitty team, should have let the Maori players play. Ngatai has hardly had any rugby and McKenzie and Lowe would have been fired up to improve on their Saturday performances.

                                            Why not start Hika as well? You want some experience on a young team.

                                                  @taniwharugby Pretty shit to get dropped on form due to performances in a scratch team, played out of position, and with a questionable gameplan. Especially Ngatai who didn't even have a bad game.

                                                    I'm trying really hard but I can't think of a crapper winger than Nowell.....and he's not even Welsh!

                                                    He's a lot better than he has shown on tour, but he is definitely NOT your classic winger, for one thing he doesn't have the pace at the highest level. His game is all about popping up all over the place, beating the first defender and then seeing what eventuates after that. He took a little while to find his niche with England and has benefitted under Eddie Jones who appreciates what he brings and uses it.

                                                    Having said all that, for the Lions with the short assimilation time and also the more direct way Gatland likes to play, I would have taken Johnny May in preference purely because he would fit that bit better. Oh and he does have pace.

But expect Gats to play it straight and go for Farrell/Te'O/Davies, with JJ bench. Still a chance of Daly or L Williams squeezing into a start if either lays down the gauntlet on Tuesday.

                                                                            I wasn't expecting any of the Maori players bar Elliot to be playing. Like @Nepia I would have started him, but Polwart has played ahead of Hika in recent weeks.

                                                                            That's the Chiefs forward pack I was expecting to start. We've got 2 green halfbacks though, whereas last year vs Wales, Weber was in the no.9 jersey.

DMac with a neck injury? Ok, but he semed ok before he was dragged.

                                                                                    I must say I'd have JJ at 13, to add x-factor. Then Te'O as a finisher. But expect Gats to play it straight and go for Farrell/Te'O/Davies, with JJ bench. Still a chance of Daly or L Williams squeezing into a start if either lays down the gauntlet on Tuesday.

                                                                                    So you have a Webb, Sexton, Joseph bench?

                                                                                    If so, two of Daly, Watson, Williams miss out

                                                                                    That's the way it looks. But clear that William or Daly can play their way in tomorrow. BTW am I right that North is usually a right wing: Daly and Williams usually operate on left? If so, a switch to his usual might aid things.
