Jesus, Louwrens is jacked. Also don't know why I expected Monty to speak with an Italian twang.

Really hopefully Kevin doesn't put his foot in it (aha) and play Kellaway out of position at 13. Ripley is our man there, with good support from Kellaway & Monty on the wings, then Hodge at fullback he could do something special with a full season.
Though what's inside him worries me, are we going to have an all rookie 9-13. Hmm.

maybe Hodge 12 & Jooste at 15
We still have Stacey Ily who while closer to npc than a test centre does add Super Rugby & old head experience

Unfortunately Kellaway out for the first 5-6 rounds. Rebels really do have as bad injury luck as any team I’ve known

Think we might see Hodge start the season at 15, but move to 12 once Kellaway returns.
Perhaps as mentioned Joost at 15 if they want to start Hodge at 12 from the get go, but teams tend to prefer their better players at 15 these days.
Hodgey a good defender, so at 12 not the worst option. Can do some ball playing and big enough frame to belt it forward. Also in a kicking position if needed.

Where's Hosea? Still injured?

Read in an article recently he’s out to start the season. Related to injury from last year. Apparently required surgery on foot

It is a no brainer. Charge a bit extra per membership up front to include the shipping on the merchandise, people won’t feel ripped off. Other alternative would be to have a hub at each home game, where members can get their merchandise and meet other diehard fans.

I think the R1 team will look drastically different in the front 5.
Gibbon will come in, Mafi will start, Cabous will be TH. Have even paired for scrummaging combo in this match. Cardall wouldn’t surprise me to start as well for some experience.
In the backs Tuttle surely keeps 9.

I reckon they will do a fair 3 way rotation with the front rowers this season
Gibbon/Orr/IAK
Mafi/Uelese/Rangi
Pone/Cabus/Talakai

Tamati Ioane also absent. Interesting one: in the absence of Rob I would have thought his point of difference would have been a big part of balancing the back row. Unless Ekuasi is currently penciled into the 23.
