Quote: Father Ted "Atkins rarely plays right centre and Waney will avoid putting Gildart against him anyway.
Having said that Gildart and Manfredi on the left look defensively vulnerable.
Hope he rests MM and goes with Powell at 9, interchage with Smith meaning Hampshire off the bench to the halves.'"
Ted I don't think that is how it will work out if Hampshire is on the bench, he will start with Powell at 9 and when the interchange comes it will be Hampshire to go to dummy half, Wane did this before.
What Wane should do is as you say, but Wane seems to terrified or to stubborn to pair Williams and Hampshire has at halfback combination, he is either frightened of them being to inexperienced or the other reason for not using the combination I will leave you to figure out.
