If that happened then the plan is probably to either move Hughes to centre or, if push comes to shove, Akauola plays on the wing.

Yes. This is a risky team if we get an early back injury.
Let's hope.
The alternative, of course, is the possibility of choosing a back amongst the subs and then not getting much time on the pitch.
I will be a bit frightenned every time I see a back get crunched.

Absolutely delighted to see Josh Thewlis get the nod at full back

No point discovering talent if you don't let it flourish, he more than any youngster that has come through since Ben Currie looks like a player who could be come an important first team player for years to come. What's more he has done that in the first team when only 17 years old. I hope he goes well, he's an exciting prospect for me.

With that line up there are plenty of options between full back, wing and centre.
My worry is if King plays at right centre - which I think he will - as he had a mare there last week.
Shaun Kenny-Dowell was all over him by all reports.

i mean, it was all a bit ropey, toby could have done better on a couple of tries, but i wouldn't say SKD rinsed him, weirdly that north east corner was a black hole of defence for both sides

Ratchford out and Austin in! Let's see how much Austin wants his starting place back.

King is class, how is there any doubt? Superb try that.

Won't get a better centre for less. That pass to Clark was perfect, had to be as well
