The front five in particular must show a vast improvement and more bodies must be committed to rucks and mauls to secure quick possession. The All Blacks slowed all the Lions second and third phase ball down and were therefore able to organise their defences.
Outside center is a definate problem now with BOD and Shanklin out. Smith is too inexperienced and with the best will in the world Greenwood is no threat in attack anymore. Horgan maybe or even Jason Robinson?
Shame about Richard Hill, I sincerely hope that todays reports about him never playing again are wrong. A great "forwards" forward- always prepared to put in the hard work while others did the flash stuff!
