Kev is key. How can weforget angry Kev from last year that attacked the tryline just on half time. I just want this game to live up to its promise.

I think a real quiet achiever this year has been Albert. He has always added when he comes on, and he plays a very traditional tight 5 game. Add to the fact that he is cut from the mold to play prop, and is a good scrummager I am very happy to have him on our bench for when the going gets tough.

Yeah his scrum technique needs refining, but his scrummaging power is evident. Will become a a very disruptive bugger at the setpiece.

Bull, as you see with other replies, there are quite a few good pilferers,another one I would normally add is Andrew Hore, but anyway, it's not really what I meant, I just believe (maybe wrongly) that a 7s job is just not about turnovers these days, but that I think it more about the quality of his workrate in support and defence etc. I rate Gill as a bloody good young 7 but he is down on turnover number slightly than other players, but I suspect like Cane (and Richie McCaw a classic example) his numbers of being the support player who helps keep ball for team, or tackles and slowing ball down for opposition, his numbers would be pretty good ,if those stats were kept.

Smith got 3 against the Tahs, 4 against the Stormers, and I saw 2 in each of the Bulls/Kings games.
I don't know who does those stats, but the turnovers are always far lower than reality.

No Ioane for this match due to a knee injury.

Really, I was just reading that he was training well, the knee was going good and was likely to play.

Then again it could be a smoke screen from the big man.

On the upside, he'll be superfresh for the Brums the following weekend.

Who are the options?
Toua
Davies
CFS?
I'd guess Toua with Davies on the bench.
20. Lucas, 21. Harris, 22. Davies on the bench
