Not really a mistake, you need more than four props for a season due to injuries etc, Moa is our backup prop, and will get plenty of gametime i'm sure. Could be in on sunday if radders is out

The "fringe" players need gametime. What happens if we do pick up injuries and the replacements haven't played any rugby for over a month? The biggest myth in sport is the old "if it aint broke dont fix it". The reason you have a squad is to keep players fresh and rotate them. Yes its important to keep the spine of the team together and playing regularly but the players in the "high impact" areas of the team need a rest to keep them fresh. As it happens I still maintain that the balance of the team is better with Moa in and only 2 of the 3 grafters anyway.

Agreed.

Only change I'd make is Moa in for Radford, no point risking playing him if not 100% fit after the knock he took same goes for any other players with niggles.

moa for radders, washy for houghton, calderwood for hall if fit

i agree on that Robbo, i think Washy & Moa should come in this week (For Radders & Houghton, push Dowes onto start), not sure on Turner yet though as that would mean dropping Whiting or Yeamo or Hall
