Twal seems too obsessed with scoring and is stifling our attack. Big fan, but if Pole is fit he gets the nod.

When a loss like that feels as low if not lower than a 72 to 6 thrashing, some changes need to be had...

Another who dropped our best. Kepaoa no good?

He should be there. You are correct. I cheated and just didn't play Bateman but it Bateman plays I'd drop Blore.

AJ?
Naden is more threatening in the centres if he can get some early ball and Douiehi out of 6 into the centres where he can focus more on just running or a simple draw and pass.

If Bateman plays, either AJ or Blore to bench and I'd go Blore for now.
 
We need a genuine ball playing 13. Once the ball goes from the middles to the edges everything just feels miss-timed.

Would be happy to commit to Matamua. He'll make mistakes but he'll give much better ball to our two 5/8s
 
Will be the same side minus the injured, but if I had my way...
