Injuries for the Reds

[Godfrey]

The worst thing about this loss is that Lucas and Fainga'a bring a lot of the same things to the table in terms of game plan that others can't match - particularly the low tackles, the breakdown work and quite likely a fair bit of defensive communication as well. Fortunately the forward pack and the halves are intact and I think with the right game plan (have you met Link?) we can get through the next couple of weeks.

Do we need to bring Kimani back from Italy? Depends if Davies is fit I guess

What's a possible Reds XV for next week?

1. Daley
2. Fainga'a
3. Slipper
4. Simmons
5. Horwill
6. Higginbotham
7. Gill
8. Samo
9. Genia
10. Cooper
11. Shipperly
12. Tapuia
13. Chambers
14. ???
15. Morahan

Wouldn't mind seeing 1-2 top players getting a rest and someone like Hansen/AWH having a go in the starting side.

There will be no resting this time of year. Best team will run out. It makes a mockery of the ARU wanting thirty man squads! There are a few teams wishing thay had a few more on the books now.
