In that case, you'd have to say 10 was also. I'm not sure how much meaning these numbers have these days tbh.

It implies he'll start with Battye and Arona with Fifita and Whitbread off bench. Its not a bad plan. It can be easily swapped.

Or Aydin.

Puts to bed the idea that Arona is seen as anything other than a prop these days.

As I'm on a roll I also thought Pitts was the obvious choice for LF.

Me and WP are like connected it seems

Indeed. I have to say I agree. Pitts is a good fit for 13.
