A healthier looking side with TOH, Rodders and Fets into the starting XV, and Nikora and George pushing Jarvis and TJ out of the squad. Jarvis will be feeling hard done by given his great running performances so far this season, but Eric is obviously trusting the higher percentage returns from NOC's boot for this game. A lot of us will have our eyes on the backline from 11-15, as it is shaping up into a theoretically very dangerous unit, and Vainikolo's first game will be a major talking point.
