Agree Souness at C is worth a look, with Gordon or COB at WA.
Gordon to WD would be another option, for added penetration on attack, if Heffernan is quiet.The centre third was SO stuck for the Ferns in game 2.
Would love to see GHeff or Tiana in there for Maia, and Toeva for Souness or Poi, and while I’m at it Takarangi in for Mason. But since we don’t, for game 3 I’d like so see a starting 7 of:
Walmsley (Nweke for impact)
Eke
Cob (maybe swap Souness)
Souness (maybe swap Gordon)
Heffernan (Gordon for impact)
Burger (Mason as impact)
Jury (Mikaere as impact)
Time to throw the dice. I don’t mind them taking a chance and losing, but repeating the same mistakes and losing would be a wasted opportunity to test players at top level.
