Lose another 16kg with Front Row replacements.
Significantly outweighed in pack.
Total SXV experience similar. WForce has more experience on bench.
Outgunned again by Test Rugby players and experience.
Pleased to see KK given a bench spot.
Need to find our mojo – intensity, cohesion, leadership group needs to rally behind Wykes, believe (esp in each other).
Uncertain/hopeful.
