I don't know about you guys, but just from the pre game hype, the attitudes of the selection and the predicted nature of this game it is going to be one of the best advertisements of rugby you will find anywhere.
The Lions in the tour matches will most certainly be playing expansive rugby, and they have cattle to do it in this game - Tommy Bowe out wide, J Davies, Youngs, Hogg are all players with pace and finishing.
The Lions pack will get them over the advantage line, create time and space, overlaps and tries. I'm sure of it.
The Reds response is to avoid set piece and make fitness a bigger factor so their pack can cope. Cooper has been given the all clear to fuck the penalties, fuck the lineouts, fuck the scrums, fuck stopping the game and just go for quick taps non-stop. Look out for Davies to be thundering in for a try off a cooper linebreak. Frisby's service isn't of a Genia standard but it's quick enough and it'll do. He can have a dart too and has also got pace. Morahan is an outstanding counter - long range try scorer.
You combine that with a 52500 sold out crowd all baying for rugby action and this is going to be a cracker.
My tip: Lions 52 Reds - 38
EDIT: Yes, haha, I noticed I put Phipps in instead of Frisby. Mistake fixed
