Hoping to see Hotham get plenty of game time. Would like to see him emerge as our permanent backup throughout the season and the other two can share the starting honours.

If it's a hot and humid day it will be a baptism of fire for Taha.
Or Drua will run out of puff in the last 30 minutes like they did in Melbourne.
I remember the Chiefs game there last season. The ball was like a cake of soap, which made handling very difficult, and the Drua came home strong. Very foreign conditions for Kiwi teams. But if Kemara has some time and space, look out.

Saders played last round in a humid place, so playing in hot and humid Fiji shouldn't be a shock
