Burns, Hepi and Mafi in for McConnell, Lyne and Keng

I imagine the team will be

Hall
Halliday/Guzdek
Hey
Tali
Brisco
Johnston
Robinson
Matagi
Lovodua
Mafi
Smeaton
Sutcliffe
Knowles

Burns
Hepi
Pauli
Holdstock

Lets the two coming back from injury come back off of bench. Only difference I can imagine is if Horne wants to get some minutes into Ferres legs but if he was going to do that i would have thought it would be last week.

Hope Lyne is ok since he is not in squad but this may help answer our centre conundrum of Hey vs Tali.

Looks about right to me, Adam. I'm sure Tom will play on the wing after last week's performance.

It's a big game in that it'll give us our first real chance to see how we fit into the Championship hierarchy.

I’m never sure whether we’ll do 3 props and hooker in the bench; or 2 props, back and hooker

I did think that was more likely at first but then remembered Sheffield were Josh's former club and sometimes ex players have blinders against their former clubs so wasn't sure if that would swing it.

Anybody know whether the Car Park passes we bought are valid for tomorrow's game? The club said they could be used at the Hull friendly, although ironically I had to pay then as I hadn't collected it earlier.

What an absolute cock up announcing the change to a cashless car park at such short notice. I don't have a smart phone so if the Car Park passes aren't valid I'm going to be in a proper mess.

Just been on the Parking Space App to book a space for tomorrow and guess what, it' not working. What a load of rubbish. Typical Dons. States can't book this space. Try different time or different space.
