Great to see Hunter back. Backline also looks much stronger than last week with O'Connor back at 12 and Hunter to cover from the bench.
 

Ignoto

Peter Sullivan (51)
Interesting to see Ryan Smith completely dropped and Lawson demoted to the bench.

Have to say, both are deserved, Lawson tackling (or lack thereof) last week was dire.

Can't really decide who is favourites in this way. You would think Reds (higher on table etc) but balance it out with home game for Clan.

Reds have been hit and miss all season, unpredictable, inconsistent and don't really know which team will turn up on the day.
