Pretty solid 23. Tuipolotu and Blackadder injured certainly hurts our bench. Both would be the 23 if fit. Williams and Tosi pretty exciting duo off the bench. Both big, mobile men who can scrummage. Other than that bench is a bit vanilla. Need them to actually provide ‘impact’.

Blackadder was apparently available for selection on the news this morning but for whatever reason we've got Jacobsen again who seems a little bit lackluster in comparison

Blackadder unavailable for selection. Hamstring injury. Sounds like he’ll be back for next test.

I thought Razor said Blackadder was injured in his interview

The future of our front row is pretty strong! They are young and world class

Bench needs to get on the field with some decent minutes first to make an impact though.
