That must be an error, they said Barrett was back and they've listed Perofeta on the bench as well.

I think that's actually a pretty good forward pack for the Tahs, and Vailanu, Seu and Gamble off the bench adds a fait bit of punch later on. Without Gordon to provide direction, we are going to need a massive step-up from Donaldson this week, not sur whether he has it in him. I think Foketi and Walton are our best centre pairing, but Perese concerns me on the wing, he just seems to get completely lost in defence. And Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) needs to shelve the speculative, no look passes.
I don't think the Tahs are any sort of realistic chance, but Holloway, Gleeson and Foketi being available helps a lot. Given who's available, it's probably as good a side as we've got, so I will be watching and hanging out for the miracle.

I wonder if they're close to 100% or even 70% however.

I was going to watch this but saw that Ben O'Keefe was reffing, don't think I can do that to myself.
Actcually not a bad team

Think of all those wingers the Tahs let go last year.:(
Don’t want to say I told you so (not you specially) but I was so critical of the Nadolo pick up (even if it was dirt cheap) - he hasn’t been injured for 10 or so weeks and is just surplus to requirements.. obviously realised he’s totally unplayable in defence. Just makes no sense why they got him.

They were conned by a good manager who also oversold his marketability off the field. Let’s hope he wasn’t paid much.
