Liking Sotutu at 8, all the dynamics but with workrate - he will get a run at the next level this year. Reiko looks in great shape but he is not even close to a super level centre, his defensive reads, even today have been poor - get him back out on the left and he is a back in black shot.

It's gonna a few lean years for the Lions, pretty much the whole coaching staff, and 70% of the players have moved to Europe.
You gotto feel for the Lions supporters, their team is a a shadow of what it was.

A wonderful try. Great running and passing rugby culminating in a great sprint to the line by Cowley-Tuioti
