As far as I know Carr could have played but he has had a hamstring niggle that was better rested for the finals
Big Al could have played if needed but has had a calf strain and playe the night before.
Makaui was given a shot as he is too old for 20's next year and the coach wanted to see what he had to offer
White was benched. I would hope it was previous performance that dictated this.
I don't really have much of a match report. it was a very frustrating game from a BRET point of view. We should have locked it up and went on with it. But thats the way things go. That and Henson, whilst being a great atmosphere, is a dog of a ground to really watch football at.
