i'm guessing Mitch on the bench due to Shaul only playing one half of a reserve game since pre season and Carlos having a badly dislocated finger.
Then why play Shaul? What does Litten have to do to get a game at Full back Mitch for me should have started on the wing to tighten up the right edge. Now its likely tinkering Tony will move McIntosh to full back and Mitch to the wing sometime in the game

Whilst I can understand the thinking behind bringing the experience of Shaul into the 17 at FB instead of Litten in what will be a pressure cooker of a game and atmosphere just I fail to see how having McIntosh in ahead of Litten is a positive. Litten has been far more assured and secure than McIntosh who just looks like a rabbit in the headlights.
I wasn’t very confident of getting much out the game before the team was announced but by god that 17 is very poor.
At least Wakey didn't win, I'd have been more worried if they were only two points off us! Their passing was awful all evening, crash ball to langi seemed to be their only planned move
