Seasonal Rugby: South

Potential changes:

Denton ---> Bench. Morgieb ---> Start.
Steve to swap with Gaz? Not sure on this one tbh.
Azzal to swap with AVA. Maybe Izett to replace AVA entirely.
Fiery to swap with Bender.
Props looked solid. No changes proposed. Pivots worked well. Escath and Rego went fine. Back row looked good. No advantage to be seen in swapping Boob with Yates - both get 40 minutes. Yates puts in the hard yards up front, leaving Boob to sweep the board in the second half against fatigued players.

----

Made a few changes. Dropped Denton altogether - plumped for the left-field selection of Boland to replace him. Fiery on to start instead of Herd, Azzal gets the starting berth over AVA, but AVA retains the bench spot.

 

I actually think in this match we'll all be queuing up to score a try. Those chumps from the Northern Hemisphere are going to get ripped to shreds.
