Depends on how Gatland wants to approach the game. He could either start Halfpenny who steadies the ship for 60 mins and then bring Hogg on for last 20 to cause havoc on tiring defence. Or you start with a bang with Hogg and then bring on halfpenny to see out the game

I agree with Finlay, Stevens for 15!

Weir should of gone if he didn't break his leg, and it's popular to dislike Biggar but has single handedly won pro12 finals and consistently turns up to the big games, where Faz goes missing. Faz has only performed once against a top side and that was NZ and he is still living off of that win. At 21 he is to inexperienced and doesn't have the temperament, he is a good player but a liability at the moment

Halfpenny won't play because he missed a kick at goal. Hoggs got no chance cus he missed two...

Who is better then faz? they are the best two tens the lions have. Who can better them? That's what the welsh and the Scott's miss in there teams. People are asking for jonny, clearly people don't think Scotland and Wales have very good tens. Sexton will play start the tests, and I think faz will be good for the last 10/20 mins of the tests.

Then they won't have a sub fullback with experience in the position. Halfpenny will defiantly start fullback for the Tests

Hogg a better overall player at 15? Worse kicker, worse under the high ball, worse in defence, only thing he is better at is attacking on the counter and that is mainly due to him just being faster

Cal are you Scottish?

Difference is that halfpenny has a 85% kicking success rate at club and international level, Hogg doesn't buy even if Hogg does start at like Halfpenny would be kicking same with Faz and Sexton, it's jot his kicking Gats etc are looking its his game management and how he runs a game from 10

I rather have the Wales back 3 with Hogg as sub. He's not experienced enough and halfpenny is a far better fullback in my opinion
