Lions v Blues
-
<p>Hard one to pick this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think that the Blues are coming into some form and the road trip is doing them some good with bonding etc. Their confidence will be increasing as well and that has been one of the real problems in past years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However the Lions are coming off a bye during which they have been licking their wounds after a really poor performance by their standards this year. They will be very keen to make amends.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That $2.85 is good money. I would have them far more even than that.</p> -
Bekhuis out for the Blues. Matenga to lock, Edwards on to the bench. Quentin MacDonald replaces Moulds on the bench<br><br>

<p>That throw by Parsons was horrendous. Just like the weather.</p>
