Word on Twitter is that Lance will start at 10 with Godwin and Taps in the centers.

That would be an excellent selection if true.

not a bad team.

Reds to come 5th!

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Pretty happy with that selection, not bad at all.

Get rid of Marcel Brache on the wing and your backline is pretty much there!

agreed. They have big wraps on Semisi Masirewa. So he may be the man. If Andrew Kellaway keeps being treated the way he is at Tah-land, then he should head west too

 

[GaffaCHinO]

We have also got Brad Lacey in the wings who is still developing.

 

[Ryphon]

Stoked Lance is starting and good to see the 12/13 combination Foles has started with. Now let's see what the game plan is.

Don't mind Brache on the wing but it's certainly the weakness on paper. Also wondering if Junior will feature this season.

Should be a ripper. Hopefully both teams attack...

Is Hodge really a wing? I'm not sure has great pace/ evasiveness but he does have a monster boot.

 

[oztimmay]

From what I've seen he has evasiveness, coupled with that boot. He will be quite handy out on the blindside.

Could well be an inspired pick from coach Tony.
