ideally would like to rest those that are injured or with niggles where possible anyway.

My team

Tansey
Whiting
Turner
Hall
Briscoe
Horne
Nicklas
Cusack
Houghton
O'Meley
Manu
Burnett
Washbrook

Moa
Lauaki
Mcshane
Dowes

if O'Meley is unable to play then put dowes on to start, have Moa and Lauaki as interchange props and put cunningham on bench to cover second row.

Would also rest yeaman as our most senior 3/4 we need him fit and if he is carrying an injury/niggle we should rest him.

1. Tansey
2. Tuffour
3. Whiting
4. Hall
5. Briscoe
6. Turner
7. Horne
8. O'Meeley
9. Houghton
10. Cusack
11. Manu
12. Burnett
13. Washbrook

14. Lauaki
15. Dowes
16. Moa
17. Mcshane

I would play Tuffour rather than Nicklas as I think he would be much less exposed being a winger rather than a half.

I'd also keep Whiting in the centres as he will be perfect to partner Tuffour and protect him. Tansey can stay at fullback and come into the line whenever he wishes and Horne/Turner have already built up an understanding.

Looks good to me.

Suppose as a keen follower of the u20s nice to see cunningham + nicklas make the 19! Still think its to soon for them.. Cunningham misses out, Nicklas on bench.

Does anyone else think he could play McShane at 7? He's a 9 that can cover 7, just a thought.

Decent side that. No excuses.
