Woodward wrote: “The Lions have to go for broke. It must be Finn Russell if fit or Marcus Smith at fly-half. And whichever of those two doesn’t start needs to be on the bench. I’m a huge Owen Farrell fan but he offered no threat off the bench on Saturday, he just continued in the same vein as Dan Biggar.”
FRONT-ROW:
- 1. Wyn Jones (Wales) for Mako Vunipola (England)
- 2. Luke Cowan-Dickie (England)
- 3. Tadhg Furlong (Ireland)
