@BerhamporeNinja it was mentioned in an article that Segner is going to start at blindside this week and Akira at 8. Hoskins for impact off the bench.

Barrett banned for three weeks, a week shorter than I expected.

Nope that will make it 2
He might get a lighter punishment if he attends World Rugby’s tackle school, the coaching intervention programme where players can get their suspensions reduced.

Anyway you want to be called Scott Ah Wong, he got zero for his red
Nigel Ah Wong. The reason being there was no head contact - I don't know why he was red carded in the first place.

Yup and that's why his red card was downgraded
"Having conducted a detailed review of all the available evidence, including all camera angles and additional evidence, including from the player and submissions from his legal representative, Aaron Lloyd, the Foul Play Review Committee found the foul play did not breach the Red Card threshold." "With respect to sanction the Foul Play Review Committee deemed the act of foul play merited a Warning as it was close to, but did not breach the Red Card threshold." "In light of the above, the red card will be removed from the Player’s record and it will be replaced with a Warning sanction for the offence which will remain on the Player’s record." "The player is therefore free to resume playing.” -

The scrum will be tested without Ofa there to mark Lomax.

I thought the Blues would probably win this one but after looking at both teams and the surprise return of Flanders off the bench, I’m liking the Canes, especially at home.
Awesome to see Higgins get a chance, hope he takes it with both hands. Tevita Mafileo also gets a shot.

6/2 bench
6/2 is a good fit for the direct game plan
Also, Funaki might be getting ahead of Nock in the pecking order

Once again, no complaints with this team (subject to James Tucker performing).
Riley Higgins. Really rate him and he seems to be a level above last year. But early days yet but I don't rate PUJ at 2nd so hope he performs
Morgan not in the 23
Mafilio gets a start. I'm sure Numia, who has been in great form, will get lots of game time
Flanders back
Howden needs to step up after last weekGood to see Perenara back. But I will miss the excellent Smith like passing from the last 2 weeks
