 Certainly looks a more so;id lineup Mr Mutley.Might be worth a punt eh ?

 ...You never know Wardad...Laumape and Jordie will want to impress Hansen as will NMS, but can the Canes forwards set the platform for them is the question....and how will the Canes cope with the Lions rush defence ? ...the Lions are also tackling with about 90% efficiency and conceding few tries midweek...not to mention the whole Lions team will be desperate to impress for a test jersey...i guess thats why they're favourites...

 Backline is looking very good. I have not heard about most of those forwards. T

 No Perenara/Barrett pivot will matter.
TJ heart and soul of that team.

 I agree Oimatey. I hope that even without them they can get a win but it will be a lot tougher.

 Yup Oimatey is spot on as regards TJP but Black at 10 aint too bad ,I dunno much about Mr T-T-T .
