@Chris Will be very interesting to see how Dave goes there.
I'm slightly surprised they haven't paired him with Bryn Hall, who I think has a stronger kicking game than Drummie. I think Dave will go OK in general play - but, it's always clearing the line under pressure that concerns me and I'll not be unhappy to see plenty of clearing from the base of the ruck.
That being said, I've got more faith in Dave than Cameron, who still looks like he needs some work.
Mitch Hunt getting the start at the Highlanders already looking positive for his shift south - and the Crusaders confirming that they wanted to keep him - which sounds a lot more logical than the intel that they weren't bothered.

Can't wait to watch this game. Gatland has kept Cane at Nr.8, which is quite surprising. I can compare it with McDonald sticking with Ruru and Perofeta. Cane was far from convincing at Nr.8 while Sowakula performed well. Until Jacobson comes back, the best backrow combination could be Boshier - Cane - Sowakula IMO.

All Black Brett Cameron is a great finisher as was shown last week when he entered the match with the Crusaders cruising with a comfortable lead.
Asked if he liked his role at the defending champions, Cameron said, “Who wouldn’t? im on the field when the final whistle blows eh. Plus I get to shake the hands of the opposition players before Richie. Something that I bring to the team is a strong handshake.”
Cameron will again take on this role with fullback and 2nd 5, David Havilli starting.

A guy who can play 10, midfield, outside backs and kick goals. Havili da man.

The cruden dmac combination could develop into a good one as the season develops
