I wonder whether the stooge had been given 8 hours of detailed instruction as to what to do at flyhalf - when to kick, when not to kick, when to pass, when not to pass, never to use skip passes when their are overlaps, etc.

And my money is on Woodward to let Alberts end up on his arse again when he tries to tackle him. 

Don't think the Sharks would do well with that team and they are going to struggle to beat the Rebels playing 10 man rugby.
