Skelton's fitness is very poor right now, obviously coming back from the injury but he's pretty ineffective with this current intensity. Would start Lousi.

Get a hair cut Hooper and that way you would not need to be coiffing yourself when Fekitoa picks the ball up and makes a break,
FFS.
Glad I picked the Clan.

It looks like a loooooong night for the Tahs. The Landers play in another league and without a good kicker is impossible. Beale failed 2 easy kicks in front of the posts

WTF does Blades do? The Tahs look like the Wallabies when Andrew was the forwards coach under Deans, F&^%$ed.
Last year many of us identified the lineout as a key failing for the Tahs in their season. What did they do to fix that issue? Nothing. Result 3 lineouts lost out of 4.
Beale is also not a 10, some games he has an outperforming game, but that is what makes Foley so good, he doesn't generally have such a poor game that every person he passes the ball too is so easily targeted by the defence, the combination of the two is perhaps the key.
This game is effectively over.

I have genuine fears that if Roach or Tilse come on as replacements somebody will get hurt as I do not rate either as super level players. Ta'avao is certainly getting shown up as he worst recommendation Ben Robinson ever made and perhaps shows how good a prop he is without the hit if he rated Ta'avao so highly, and finally for my half time rant, is it just the move to LP that has seen Ryan go backwards so quickly (not just in the scrum) in terms of performance, because even away from the set piece he is lethargic and lacks any impact at all.
