Another reason why I now like Garbett as a starter. He’s a bit niggly and physical. He may draw a dumb reaction out of one of their players - or counter that make one himself!
Iran are an older experienced side but yeah is going to be lots of emotion in their playing group plus fans
Who knows what may happen. Stating the obvious we need to start well and retain the ball as much as possible to frustrate. The big Iranian crowd may grow a bit angsty and that feeds through to their players. They see the AWs match as a must win game
Thomas starting if match fit, helps with that plan to frustrate by denying them possession for periods
