A couple of spins of the Toonbola I don’t think many of us expected Harris at 13 and Jones at 12. thats a very attacking selection but we were missing a few centres
Gone with the experienced props to start and hope they last most of the game – the replacements are inexperienced bar the hooker
Laidlaw benched – presumably as a “finisher”
Gonna be some game . could be a real cracker
