But for me the focus is up front, can this team compete at the break down better than they have been? AWJ and JT are two athletic locks who will do well there, Tandy puts himself about but Tom Smith is just a liability.
Very intrigued to see the game plan for this one, Biggar has his big chance, Hook has some more space and we have a 12 who can miss out Parker when something is on. If we hadn’t been so rubbish recently I would be predicting an easy O’s victory, but right now I reckon us sneaking a close win. I hope.
