@ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Play the wrong style, and the Kiwi’s will eat us for a half time snack.

If he picks the wrong combinations it could be tickets.

One only has to look at the dynamics of the Lions this season to see how combinations can compliment the playing style when used correctly.

The selected group abounds with prolific talent and individual skills… so I hope they are not pigeon-holed into Toetie’s traditional defensive playing patterns…

ABSOLUTELY. Totally agree.

@ grootblousmile:

We have to get the style, pattern, combinations etc right. And quickly too . . .
Despite the 1 or 2 issues I might have, I’m gonna see the glass half full, and be positive.

I am going to be very torn in loyalty when the Irish are here . . .
