Champness was pretty average, but then he’s barely played for his Turkish club in 2 months. Likely better for the run, but then again maybe is a good reason his club ain’t playing him.
I’d give the guys from this game another go, but bring Wood, Just, McCowatt, Pijnaker and Stamenic onto the bench. Be nice to give the ALM guys a 2nd game before they head home, and helps give the wider playing pool game time, when injuries mean having depth could be important later this year

When do Cacache and Bell join? The third game?
AWs play Fiji 21st. New Caledonia (3rd game) 24th.
Empoli (Cacace) play 20th
Brøndby (Bell) also play 20th
St Mirren (Greive) play 19th - but will be enough attackers in Qatar for Fiji game
Hapoel Nof HaGalil (Marinovic) play 19th - hopefully Sail gets a 2nd cap against Fiji
Portland (Tuiloma) play 19th - but it's late on 19th and a long way to Qatar from USA
I think Searle, Payne, Pijnaker, Stamenic, Just, McCowatt & Wood (so 7 more players) will be in Qatar in time for the Fiji game. Giving Hay a squad of 25, if everyone is fit??
