Mata is there for his holdup play. But his poor finishing is frustrating. I don't think you replace his with Barba, that gives us no long outlet forward. Waine will come on for him.
But yeah be interesting to also see Barba & Old given a go. I only saw the last 20 mins of the half, but McCowatt pretty anonymous.
All in all a pretty good half against a team ranked 36 in the world on their home patch. Libby a standout. Giving him the captaincy a smart move.
