Looks like Billy Proctor & Duplessis not released for selection for this game - most likely Matt will slot in at 13? Otherwise good to see Ruben Love will be out there

I'd say Love will play 15, with Harkin at 10 which is the opposite to what the Canes put out. I think Love will play 15 purely because Harkin would have had more time to understand the calls and gameplan within the side so better equipped to run the cutter.

Will be interesting to see if Lakai is available but for me a I'd be happy with the following starting XV:

1. X Numia
2. A Aumua / J O'Reilly
3. S Lauaki / P Sheck
4. A Ieremia
5. H Plummer
6. C Delany
7. P Lakai / S Halalilo
8. B Shields
9. K Preston
10. C Harkin
11. L Filipo
12. J Savea
13. M Proctor
14. T Clarke
15. R Love

Preston, Ieremia. Oh the memories

A Ieremia I thought he could move onto bigger things, might have been a very good 6, seemed to be pretty talented.

Hasn’t he signed a long term contract in Japan? I thought the same, seems highly skilled and a big body, could have gone well at 6 at Super level.

I thought so, but maybe he has an NPC season left?

Good to see Lakai back as well. I thought we may not have seen him this season.

They are

Despite all the positive noises around the NPC, the interest in the games is way way less than SR
