I think Chester will go with kershaw on the wing. He’s not played Hampshire on wing in any friendly. We also not played lyne with tupou as a combo.
Suspect Chester known jjb was unwell for sometime so could have tried different wing centre combos if need be.
I can’t understand the Atkins signing when we already had trundle contracted as back up.
Hampshire will play full back unless miller not fit where he will revert to 6 with jowitt at 1.
Plenty of options in the backs which is a positive.
Interesting to see the back row choice (ashurst westerman i suspect are first choice with Pitts /batch n kirmo fighting it out for right edge).
Prop situation is desperate
