Alternate Horwill and Symmons, and pair either with Merrick/Glynn.  Dombrandt has played BR in the A League hasnt he?? Luamanu has been Lock from memory.   

As others have said, I think it’s about striking the right balance between winning and building form/momentum whilst also giving some of our key players a rest.

I see it as an ideal opportunity for players returning from injury like Catrakilis or new players like Kunatani and Lasike to get some decent game time.

I’d go for something like:

1. Boyce
2. Crumpton
3. Collier
4. Glynn/Merrick
5. Horwill
6. Kunatani
7. Wallace
8. Bothma
9. Mulchrone
10. Catrakilis
11. Ibitoye
12. Lang/Lasike (if fit)
13. Marchant/Saili (if fit)
14. Walker
15. Morris

16. Elia 17. Auterac 18. Sinckler 19. South 20. Dombrandt/Luamanu 21. Saunders 22. Cheeseman 23. Alofa/Chisholm

I’d love to see Clifford too, but with no update on him for a while, I’m starting to think the worst. Same for Buchanan.

.. Dombrandt has played BR in the A League hasnt he?? Luamanu has been Lock from memory.   

Dombrandt has played 6 and 8 for the A's with Luamanu at lock. FWIW I don't think Dombrandt is fit enough yet to step up and play BR for the 1st XV. Could be a game changer but if he comes on early, might blow up

Given his bad concussion , I'd be surprised to see Lasike anywhere near the team on Sat.

Yep agree with that and don't expect to see Lang either. Fully expect it to be Cheeseman at 12 with Alopha at 13 and Marchant or Sahli on the bench (Marchant for a rest)
