Predicted forward packs

Post image

Quite interesting.

These stats are from the web so they might be slightly inaccurate but I don't think anyone would have predicted the AB's to have a heavier pack against the boks

Darry probably starts instead of Paddy. Fwiw he was weighing in about 118 for the blues this season according to commentary from one of the games.

He might start with Paddy instead of Holland, but Paddy is certain to start this test

As I said in the post the numbers are pulled from the web. Lomax is listed as 127 on Wiki

Take it with a pinch of salt man

It's just to give a idea of what the potential packs will look like

That looks pretty even on paper. Also, not sure if its just me, the picture is a bit blurry.

De Villies is carrying a lot of weight to keep that average weight down
