Quote: rubber duckie "He’d go straight in at right centre for me, however there could be a small sensation aspect to have him come off the bench, but I personally I wouldn’t, because what point of gain is there to bring GI on when the game is already in the bag by the time they do an interchange?
It’s like a backfire....however bringing him on while we are trailing would be the reverse.
The odds are we will win well, so we MUST start with GI to get the biggest exposure.'"
If it is the case of the biggest exposure, as opposed to winning a game of rugby, then I'd expect an announcement, earlier than the usual squad naming, that GI's turning out on 1st May.
Also, were in the awkward position of quarantining for 5 days, which will mess up our usual recovery/training cycle. A win against HKR is far from a foregone conclusion.
