A few surprises for me. No MSR, but Tupou on the bench. Jacobson is definitely the backup 7.
LCF is the safe option on the right wing.
loose forwards as i expected this early in season. but hope to see finau/jacobson and parker ar 8 at some stage.

Agreed. As I had said previously, Parker replaces PGS as the impact loose forward. Ah Kuoi as a 6 option seems to have been shelved now.
I hope the teams also release who is unavailable for selection.

thoughts on Liam Coombes-Fabling? we obviously saw a bit of him down south and dont think he really impressed (me anyway), starting for a chiefs team tipped to do well, he looking good? highlander maybe just not right to get the best out of him?

No real other choice with Narawa unavailable at the moment, and Malimali a left winger. I've always said that LCF lacks size to be really effective at this level. But he's quick. A good chance for the back three to expose Aumua's concrete feet on defence.
