Smeltz-Killen

 

Plodder---Boyens----Vicelich---Lochy

Mulligan---Oughton---Brown---Bertos

---------Smeltz----Killen----------

 

though dont know if James will miss out - and not sure if Ricki likes Oughton. Should just stick to a basic formation and not faff around with any fancy sh* te

 

I like the looks of this team. Although I would really prefer to see James in there for Oughton. We shouldn't need to worry about bringing James on as an impact player for Oughton etc. James is one of the best passers and movers we have at the moment. We need to keep the ball off the fijians and Chris is the best for that.
