Warren Gatland seems to be only considering Stander as a No.8 but he has praised the Munster man's impact off the bench so he could come in for the Wellington Test.
May be doing well to shift Toby '20 tackles' Faletau from the starting team but he definitely offers more in attack and the Lions are now chasing. If he cannot break into the XV, he is surely an option for the matchday squad.

Maro Itoje
Came off the bench and carried himself well but was part of a team struggling at that stage and did nothing to emphatically claim a Test jersey. It may be the poor form of Jones that gives him a look-in and he may have an England colleague in a new-look second row.
Stuart Barnes suggested on Sky that Gatland should consider bringing Courtney Lawes straight into the XV and getting him to form a partnership with Itoje in a completely new second row.
Rory Best
Stephen Ferris told Sky that Rory Best is vital as a Test call-up as he would be key in slowing down New Zealand ball. He said:
"Rory is unbelievable at the breakdown and he is the best scrummaging hooker in the world."Ferris would move Jamie George back to the bench role he so excellently occupied, and pounced from, for England in recent years. Barnes also suggested Rhys Webb could be sprung from the bench early in the second half of the next Test - replacing Conor Murray - while former Lions coach Ian McGeechan believes the starting XV from Saturday would be an even better unit for the Second Test.
