Has to play Topou inside of MCB tonight. Arundel is ok but he's capital S for steady we need speed and power to threaten CAS.
MCB scores frequently against CAS.

I'd also prefer Arundal to Lyne, one of the few players who looked ok against Catalan even though Lyn scored.

I thought it was a tactic to increase the attendance when I read the title.

Well he’s signed for 5 years probably makes him undroppable

Not suggesting he's a poor player but he looks jaded at the moment. Lyne is not a classic centre, he makes up for a certain lack of technical ability with his strength and enthusiasm and for me, that's not there at the moment. I have no issue with dropping a player who needs a rest, doesn't mean his career is instantly over, tbh could just as easily have said Tupou who for different reasons looks out of sorts. Arundel surprised me by looking quite fresh on his return, different types of injuries I suppose.

There is no doubt that as players return it a test for CC as it offers choice but some of them difficult ones.

So long as Cas don't employ the same wet paper bag tactic that Catalans used against Lyne we should be OK.

I'd play Arundal with MCB.
Tupou on bench for impact.

Can't see it with Batch back, only way would be if one of them was going to play back row

bill back to centre and arundel instead of Pauli as second row interchange

Possibly, Arundel looked good last week especially considering how long he had been out. I wouldn't drop Pauli though, start him on the bench maybe but i don't know why Chester tries to get big minutes out of him. Used in spells of 20 mins or so he could cause some serious problems.

Agreed, he could cause Serious problems for our defense

Haha can't argue with that - there is always that risk with him.

Just gave a genuine lol at that

Must admit i wondered what the thread was going to say when i saw who had posted it!
