Maybe, maybe not. After all, he only had, what 15 mins off the
bench on Saturday. Likely that'll be the case again for this
game as FS is starting, so will play the majority of the game at
10 barring injuries. Add in that Farrell will be playing the
majority if not all of this game, that would mean that out of
the three potential "Bench 10s" for the second test, Marcus will
be the freshest set of legs out of them.

Yeah not reading that as he won't play Saturday. Only way is if
he play's Keenan on Saturday and Kinghorn to cover FB & Wing on
the bench but then who covers 10? (he say's with tongue firmly
in cheek)

At this stage of a Lions tour the bench backs are usually doing
double duty, because the squad isn’t large enough to allow for
two completely separate XXIIIs.
Technically, Kinghorn can (and has) covered 10 but it seems a
stretch for him to come straight in covering both positions. I’m
increasingly convinced that Marcus’s brief from the outset is
that he will be covering 10 and 15 from the bench for the Tests.

Marcus is there to drive up Farrell’s standards apparently.
Both on and off the pitch.

Nice to see another Smith at 10 hamstrung by having Farrell at
12.

Marcus on at 67 mins and then off with a head knock soon after,
poor match by the Lions too many shipped in Scotland not good
enough players,
