Philips was missing half if last test so not sorry to see him out. Injury might explain him 'jogging' after Genia just before first try.

Let's hope vunipola can keep up the scrum otherwise grant will need to come on. Not vey worrying considering he destroyed Ben Alexander in Australia last summer

Tom S Jun 6

Lets hope Bowe gives us a big performance...serious call putting him ahead of Cuthbert

Jason F. Jun 6

That must've been a long session picking this team. Very defensive back row, lot of pressure on Heaslip to carry. This could be a bridge too far for Youngs at 9 which is probably why Lydiate got the nod to shut down Genia. Harsh on Cuthbert seeing as he's finished tries, Bowe will have to play his best game ever to warrant his inclusion now. Fingers crossed.....

Joe Murray Jun 6

I think Bowe is the biggest call of them all. Starting him after being out injured is a big surprise.

Finlay MacLeod Jun 6

Gray very unlucky. Think youngs and Murray are playing better than Phillips but apparently it is due to injury that he's been dropped.

Dan H. Jun 6

Also no Toby he's been outstanding all tour and not made the test team. Will run through a brick wall given Half the chance.

Dan H. Jun 6

Poor game ahead I think genus will dominate youngs. Phillips not even made bench Is poor decision?

Kenneth O' Connor Jun 6

Chris there are 3 backs on the bench?

Kenneth O' Connor Jun 6

Phillips isn't on the bench. I think youngs is a big call. Hope it won't backfire against genia I would prefer Murray to start then youngs after 60 mins. All the other switches are very strong. It had to have been a long conversation on lydiate or o Brien
