I don’t agree with the conclusion above but he has said he’s rested Earle, Dombrandt, Symonds and Sink (agreed on Sink that he probably has to).
However - Murley was one of our best players before injury, front row is still strong, and Bothma, Robshaw, Clifford isn’t shabby either.
Alofa has earned his place on recent outing.
So barring the change of Symons for Merrick I don’t agree that it’s a significantly weaker side. (and he got his finger put back in last week....)
