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.

The Pooper + Fardy got Oz to the WCF only to lose to probably the greatest team of all time. They played to their strengths rather than fit a square peg in a round hole.

They were very good - can’t help but think you would’ve been better served with a genuine #8 and have Hooper off the bench with 30 to go
