After all the pre-season training , the named team isn't too much different than what we would have seen at times last season bar Carr in and Macca gone................

I'd be concerned about the lineouts, harris-wrights throwing has been a bit poor in the friendlies and neither locks are natural lineout jumpers. Not concerned about the backline at all.

I don't think the game will be won or lost because Griff is playing at 12.

Our pack contains enough ball carriers to be a threat and we have some serious gas outside with Griff, Poolman and Henshaw hopefully making some inroads down the middle.

?, Henry, Loughney, Muldowney, Kearney, Murphy, Ronaldson, TOH - would be mu guess for the bench, which you could argue is possibly a little lightweight if we pick up a couple of knocks.

Anyway can't wait for the season to finally start. It's been far too long.

Griffin would have been my choice. Conor Finn should get a run out based on pre season form. I don't mind that team at all. Will be interesting to see if the style of play is different now that we are down to business. A lot less kicking in the games so far (defo in the Wasps game). Looking forward to it.

Maybe but enough to cover the 10/12 channel practically on his own? If pack don't dominate the 80 it cud be tough.

Griff has improved defensively in the end last year...

That team doesn't look to have great balance to it. Lacks a bit of ball carrying up front IMO. The back line has no 12 in it so someone is going to be out of position. Probably griffin to 12 and pool man at 13 which will be OK with ball but raises concerns defensively.

So for Clarification:

1. Wilkinson
2. Harris-Wright
3. White
4. Swift (Capt)
5. Browne
6. Muldoon
7. Falloon
8. Naoupu

9. Marmion
10 Parks
11 Healy
12 Griffin
13 Poolman
14 Carr
15 Henshaw

Probably the strongest team he can put out at the moment with injury. Understandable to with all loses during the friendlies and a home crowd. Interesting that he went with Swift and not Muldoon who is a former captain.
