I'm not sure the benches are easily compared. I think the Chiefs bench is actually good in terms of forwards. Overall the Lions are way better on paper.

Which of these will be doing the off-the-ball, out wide, interfering with the opposing team's defenders ?

I'm thinking Dan Biggar - he's always off side.
Marler - he'll be doing his dirty bastard thing.
Hika - he always a little borderline.

Think the Lions will have to hold a whip-around to supply some of those guys with a bit of clothing - skimpily dressed, I see. Not quite the thing, to prance around half-naked at a rugby match...
TBH, pisstake aside, a very nice challenge.
