Great to see Hunter back. Backline also looks much stronger than last week with O'Connor back at 12 and Hunter to cover from the bench.

Interesting to see Ryan Smith completely dropped and Lawson demoted to the bench.

Have to say, both are deserved, Lawson tackling (or lack thereof) last week was dire.

Can't really decide who is favourites in this way. You would think Reds (higher on table etc) but balance it out with home game for Clan.

Reds have been hit and miss all season, unpredictable, inconsistent and don't really know which team will turn up on the day.

Was going to say that would have been odd for him to be dropped.
Upfield and Vest aren't Super Rugby standard locks, but we have no one else

I reckon Vest has been going okay. He's a pest around the breakdown and has been the support man shunting a few of the other piggies over the tryline close in. I'd rather he was a bench option than a starter though.
