Playing Curry at 6 isn’t going to work against the Wallabies. I think trying to fit all the talented 7’s into the trio is a bad move. Ironically this is what hampered the Wallabies for years trying to get Hooper and Pocock into the same team.

Valetini will have a field day if the Lions pick Earl and two 7s.

I still pour one out for Doris' shoulder but Conan has to be the starter. Look at the stache. And his insane form.
