I’d like to see Hastings given a rest. Hopefully we might be able to give Field a run, if not Powell in the halves and O’Neil to hooker.

Field didn't make the squad

Is he injured again or something? I’m scratching my head as to why he hasn’t made it in a game where it looks like we’re resting “key players”. Just seems utterly bizarre

Minor groin strain is the reported issue.

Just a rest I think

Is it just coincidence or are we deliberately giving KPP the ball when he is about to get tackled so he can get an offload away and create space? Hastings did this in the first half at least once.
