Key points/Observations:
- After our first win of the year Kane Douglas has been dropped for Rob Simmons, a controversial decision.
- Henry Speight comes back from a successful return to 15s via the NRC to replace Drew Mitchell for a probable bench spot.
- Tom Robertson replaces the injured Allan Alaalatoa and is in line to debut, he is a certainty for the bench due to the requirement of three specialist scrummagers.
- Western Force players Adam Coleman and Dane Haylett-Petty will get to run on in front of their Super Rugby home crowd.
- Scott Fardy has again been overlooked for Dean Mumm.
- Appearance milestones: Kepu & Genia 70 caps, Pocock 60, Mumm 50.
- Lopeti Timani seems most likely to be the player that misses out on the final 23. He was also the player to be omitted last week.
