The scrum should be a real opportunity for us with their injury and suspension problems in that area, so we should be looking to scrum at every opportunity with dominance resulting in further penalties and hopefully card(s).
The forwards should be pretty evenly matched, but their backline looks far more dangerous. Disappointing to see we're still persisting with the underperforming McIntyre, but hopefully having Macgregor at 15 to slot into first receiver at times will help spark the attack.
Surely we could do better than Brache starting on the wing? Looking forward to seeing what Olofowela can offer off the bench, as well as Lance getting a crack after missing out for a few weeks.
