Interesting to see how the two centre pairings go especially Burleigh and Tofilau playing off Weir.
The Feral Goat wrote:Our pack at the set piece was very good, it did not always perform well in the loose we conceded a lot of turnovers at rucks because Bresler was about the only player hitting them and clearing out and Ritchie was a nuisance. Having Manu, McKenzie, Gilchrist back should all help in that area and hopefully get us some quick ball.

Our pack should be good enough to win possession, but I'd like to see an urgency giving Sammy good quick front foot ball to work with where he has the choice to snipe or pass to Weir, same goes for all options at 9/10 - get the opposition scrambling back trying to align and we have some genuine speedsters to exploit it

Backs look better, but I'm not expecting anything fancy, pretty much bish bosh stuff from the centres, tight work from the forwards and wings finish it.
