Lots of injuries in back row and back three. As others have
said, we've gone from a position in the back row where quality
players missed out each week, to a position of weakness in a
very short space of team. Clifford (admittedly usually
unavailable), Robshaw and Semi haven't been replaced properly.
A are appearance for Green. Still strikes me as odd that he was
signed with a fair degree of fanfare and is behind Morris and
Lynagh.
Landajo over Steele is odd too.
Otherwise, this looks like a decent team. Good to see Lewies and
Estherhuizen back. Estherhuizen owes a big performance. Annoying
they've just changed the rules meaning that Covid cancelled
games count towards a suspension. I think that it only right, as
points are awarded, but too late for us

White puts in a good showing. From what I've seen of him, I'd be
tempted to put Elia in the back row....

he's been very good of the bench.

Steele is selected for Scotland in the 6N, so maybe he and Lang
are off with them in a bubble or similar?

While im not a fan of White, one thing I will say is that he
never shirks putting in a shift. Is he good enough, thats open
for debate for me as he has not really showed that much but I
wouldnt say it is through lack of effort.
Hoping to see Green get a run

I thought that too, and then I noticed that Lang is on the bench

Lets see if Gussie leaving has any sort of impact on the
performance - positive hopefully ?

Re Green, he joined up with the squad a lot later than the other
signings. He only got to the UK in November, and he will have
had a lot of "rust" to knock off due to the long gap since his
last game. Normally we'd have played him in a few A League games
to get him up to speed but those obviously haven't happened. PG
may have felt that he didn't want to put him out as a starter
until he'd bedded in more with the rest of the squad as well.

Looking forward to this. Its going to be really interesting how
this goes following everything that's gone on.
Also good to see Symonds and Lewis back. On the topic of seconds
rows, whats happened to big Tex Cavubati? I never see his name
on the team sheet and I haven't seen it on the injury list
either.
