So from the starting lineup we have 6 who started against you, however 2 of those were coming back from injury/long periods of not playing.
2 players from that bench started against you, and 2 of them were on the bench.

So out of 23 we had 13 players missing, IMO.

Think we need a fly half on the bench there WarriorA, so would put Carlisle on the bench instead of Dranuini.

We could always shift Matavesi to FH if Goode has to go off

is gillies not in the thinking then anymore?

Understand the thought WA, however I would still rather have Carlisle on the bench than a winger. Its a lot easier to cover the wings than FH. Fatiaki has also performed well on the wing previously.

Mundo, Gillies is still in there, but to be fair, I don't think anyone has really worked out what our best lock combo is yet this season, but I think Percy and Jones is a good starting point.

I see you haven't started the club captain, is that to save him walking to and from the bench for 10 mins in most games that he starts?

Indeed DadLad, and atm he only seems to carry hard when coming off the bench

Mundoscarlet,

No, Craig isn't figuring at the moment as Mr Redman doesn't rate his committment to the ruck and maul part of the game.
