Bok v Bok (v2)

In an attempt to create an even matchup, how wrong or right have I got these teams? What would you change? Do you keep or split combos? In my head, loosely Team A is a more 2024 style team (bit more Tonyball) and Team B is a more 2025 styled team (physical, territorial) but that makes it tricky to keep it balanced and accommodate both styles of play. I never spent much time in the scrum so my tight 5 knowledge is a bit meh.
