People picking Roane to start on the wing and move into centre are people looking for ways to lose. Would be a defensive catastrophe. If he starts on the wing he stays there unless we're up by a gazillion.

Like @Sparky's team, best balance in the backs although I can't really see Reece not getting a start.

I'm not moving him. He can cover centre if Jack falls over only.

I liked it. By losing all the linouts with our dwarf 6/7 combo, we avoid D-Mac getting any ball to mess up

Who needs lineouts when Jordie can go for a quick throw in, and we all know how they turn out.

[Tim]

@voodoo Sotutu is a good lineout option. No McKenzie for me though.

Only if necessary. Which could apply to any position in the event of injury.

For sure, Karl T is a good scrummager but is poor around the field. Was blowing during Mitre 10, the Test will be too fast paced for him.

Much better to have someone coming on at centre and him shift to wing than the other way around.

Goodhue, one of the shining lights in the SF against England in 2019. His defense and reading of the game is crucial in tight test matches......
