Pleasing to see Gareth Simpson getting a chance to show what he's got.
Like the back row with Wells and Vosayaco.
Some good depth off the bench.

Simon Cron presser.

Henry Robertson's injury is actually a serious meniscus issue with his R knee. Rehab evidently well on track.
Great listening to Rohboni, well articulated and grateful for this opportunity.

In regards to Simon, I think its fanatastic the way he elobrates and explains decisions and outcomes based on the "rugby" behind it.

Interesting to see Burns not there, at least on bench, guess he injured, Clan will miss Parkinson and Mikaele-Tu'u although Rento deserves another run at 8. Not really sure how this will go, Clan have played top 3 NZ NZ teams and been fairly well beaten, that can tend to hammer confidence a bit, and when you are playing and second guessing yourself strnge things can happen. As well Force after win last week will be feeling a little better?

In all honesty I think this game will be the best chance we have to gain momentum if the Force can’t lift and secure a decent win here it’s going to be a long tour. They have the cattle to get it done forwards look great with firepower off the bench. but boy I wish Rodda was fit

Hopefully Chase Tiatia can prove he was worth signing and lift his pace and tackle success.

Kibirigie returning is a huge boost to the backline the guy is so exciting to watch
