A lot of talk that this is the test team. If so, harsh on Jones
& Tuipilotu but they do need a break after the last two games.
Marcus at 23, as we thought. For me, Curry & Lowe need to have
big games as either haven't been pulling up trees. As for
Marcus, just take your chance.

Wow those standards have really been driven looking at the line
up. I wonder who did that?

I think Cummings has the 5 shirt to lose TBH, i think he has had
a good tour so far and would be my pick for the first test
alongside Itoje. Likewise for the Scot centres.
Backrow is the one I can't really predict too much as I think
Jac Morgan is in the mix. I'd be tempted perhaps for Morgan at 6
with VDF at 7 and Conan at 8. Ben Earl is probably a better
bench test option than Pollock in my view but close to call.
Quite like this back 3 to play the Brumbies though

I'm not seeing it with Cummings. I think he's been ordinary.
I do think Morgan deserves a spot, though, and Earl is more
versatile for a bench spot than Pollock.

Kinghorn off for HIA which he has failed, Marcus on and has
scored, Lions poor at the breakdown again.

It's almost comical how hard ROG and co are working to avoid
giving Marcus credit for anything good...

Incredible. The 60+ seconds of analysis would lead you to
believe only JGP and Ringrose had anything to do with that
try...

They haven't even mentioned his kick - it's like it didn't
happen.

I'm frankly amazed they haven't found a way to blame him for the
Brumbies' try.
