Goudemand seems to be steady and able to play longer mins but we have so many work men back rows I don't think he would have more impact that Ruan in that position.
Ruan might be young and make mistakes but he needs chances to improve

Sir, Sir he's hit me......Boo,sob.hiss

No issues with Ruan, just think Smith might go with a player with more experience given it's a knockout game. He does have some interesting choices to make for once.

Fair point,is Donaldson still banned? If not I assume he will be prop too

Rumour that Dodd might not play Friday along with Makinson and Percival of course.
Certainly weakens their backline somewhat.

I thought Ruan was but fair

Haha I`m sure you are right.

Just checked on Google.

Prop James Donaldson was 18th man last week after completing a two-match ban and forward Leon Ruan did not feature in the gameday side, following three successive appearances.

Prop.
Lol

Worrying that it was Mom’s shoulder that was injured, I thought it might be. Hope he’s going to be okay - I imagine he will play if anywhere near fit.

Lisone probably the big change for us this week, we need more power in the middle and he gives that. Could be first choice 1-17 other than Fus.

I'd go with
Miller
Roberts(Not a fan but no one else)
Newman
Mom
Handley
Croft
Frawley
Mik
Ackers
Holroyd
Bentley
Martin
Smith

O'Connor
Sangare
Lisone
Mcdonnell


Martin to centre Mcdonnell starting if Mom isnt fit .Goudemand bench.

Miller
Roberts
Newman
Momorovski
Handley
Croft
Frawley
OLedzki
Ackers
Holroyd
Mcdonnell
Martin
Smith

Bentley
Sangare
Lisone
Goudemand

I'd probably go with this but Bentley to start, McDonnell on the bench

That would be my pick. Seems harsh on young O'Connor, but gives us more oomph off the bench and also sets a bit of a precedent in terms of accountability for mistakes.
