Seems a strange choice though with Nasser, Asiata & Craig all in the squad. Especially when it would appear that there was an opportunity to give him time at prop. I wouldn’t have thought there would be too much concern about giving their 5th best hooker a run so I feel like there must be either some thought that he can challenge for a game day spot at hooker or else at least 2 of the others have injury concerns.
Maybe the new coaches don't consider him fifth best.

Floyd Aubrey must have been impressive in preseason.

He was injured for a fair bit of last year and I feel he fell quite a bit behind some other outside back options.

Must be doing something right to get a start in the first trial.

One of the pre-seasons players interviews talked about Blake scrummaging at blindside, so maybe the hooker is just a result of injuries in the squad?

Really wanted to get over to Ballymore today but common sense got hold of me (just off crutches but still hobbling in a moonboot). Everyone who makes it enjoy, and please report back on how the new facility has pulled together.

Rugby is back!
