    I think White would like to disrupt the Lions Loosehead with Alexander who seems to be a very awkward scrummager. Oosthuizen is also lacking in experience.

    Brumbies will bank on the Lions lineout spluttering and will want to add pressure to the Lions set phase via the scrum.

    Let’s see if it works.

    @hensopper1(hensopper1)-4:

    Yes. The young Lion is average and am sure Moore and co will look to dominate.
