    No lock reserve. Ioane finished there late in an earlier game, I presume he'll be the one that shifts if there's an injury

    Good to see Funaki get a start and Cashmore & Tangitau get a run from the bench. I would've like to have seen one of the young midfielders in the 23

    A big game for Evans. He's more familiar with 12 but he can't have another high error rate game

    No confidence in James Thompson from the coaches?

    ..and Rush too. Looking at the rest of the matches it's hard to see him getting a run until maybe the Rebels game now. He was injured in the preseason too so he's having bad luck with the timing of his knocks

    Cotter has labelled Perofeta the most worrying of his injured clan but also confirmed the shoulder injury is less serious than first thought.

    Blues should win comfortably but hopefully they fluff the bonus point so the Canes stay top of the log. 😃

    Force have the right tactics to, keep it in blues half with kicks. Cos in their half they're stuffed, blues dominant ball in hand
