It's going to be very difficult. Without any attacking threat working as a foil for Lomax the defence knows it only has to load up on him and most of our expansive game will be snuffed out. I suppose it underlines the importance of multi-skilled footballers such as Wilkin who can drop into the playmaking positions when injuries occur. It's safe to assume Jon will take on most of the kicking duties and he'll need to find his range early.A far bigger problem is in dealing with the time when Puletua and Graham are off the pitch. We can't afford to have twenty minute periods away from home where we cannot get out of our own half (during which the opposition is liable to run in one or more tries) so it might be wise to stagger the interchanges between the two so that we can at least have one in the game at all times.
