Suspect we may see 7 or 8 changes from last weeks starting 15. I would like to see McCallum, Carmichael and Ritchie start.
Think we generally do ok against the Scarlets but I am not expecting much in terms of end result I do expect to see a big response in performance after last weeks SteveWalsh. Aggressive, physical for the whole 80mins.

Not sure how helpful this will be.
