Yes a couple of odd ones - Loughman’s omission is weird, he’d actually been playing really well. The only thing I can think is that they still favour Healy in the scrum, and think that’s important if they’re going to win or draw the series. So prioritising going for a win rather than building front row options. Tbh though even if that is the thinking it’s not obvious to me that Healy is a whole lot better at this stage than Loughman in the scrum, and certainly not in the loose..CIMANFOREVER wrote:The more I look at the forwards, I puzzle over how POM, Healy, and the likes of Prendergast got the nod. Munster can feel aggrieved Hodnett didn't make it, ditto McCann for us. Loughman is more the future than Healey.
Coombes, jury is out but I'm not sure it would've been a stretch to include him and test him against big Saffa forwards
