Fowles isn't playing, but he just re-signed...
I'm sure there's a plan and a pattern in there somewhere.

(15-9): L Ludik, J Stockdale, D Cave, S Olding, C Piutau, P Nelson, P Marshall;
(1-8): A Warwick, J Andrew, R Lutton, K Treadwell, A O'Connor, R Diack, C Henry (C), M Coetzee;
Replacements (16-23): J Murphy, C Black, W Herbst, P Browne, S Reidy, D Shanahan, S McCloskey, T Bowe.
Could be a very long night indeed.

No issue with players like Bresler, Coman or Burleigh who are first choice and bringing something we dont already have, Scholes to be fair has not long signed and possibly we thought he would make a bigger impact, but Fowles just hasnt done much and is no better than Kennedy and SHC, yet gets a new contract. Just bizarre to do that with no new coach in place, if there is a new coach pulling the strings on signings then why is he not putting pressure on to select him?

Fowles is SQ. This might not change your point.
