Would rather have left Mata’utia at centre and let Hayes play.
Yes, Powell has been good bringing in youth players when an opportunity presents itself, not keen on this option with Mata’utia covering,, not only does it mean Hayes doesn’t play, it also means Minikin starts at centre.
Well if Drinkwater's injury is going to keep him out for a few weeks then we'll just recall Dean - would like to see how he goes in this side.
I think tonight is going to be very tough with a pretty makeshift side, if we lose gallantly then I don't think that will be such a bad thing at this stage of the season.
