Changes for Romania
Does Scott continue looking at nrew players and combinations?
Or, do we need to finally field our strongest team and go for a win?
If Iscaro and Ainu's are available (unlikely) would they be involved having not trained with the team? Not sure they would bring much at this stage, unless they get to train all this week.
i'd like to see Ma'afu start, ideally at 8, but that won't happen. Please bring Daniel back.
Ruben and Carty are our best halves right now. Not keen to see Baska again.
If Scott doesn't know by now that Lopeti and Besag are our best midfield combination then I think he inhabits a different dimension.
I think the back three did enough. But I'd like to see Esdale given some time off the bench. Romania are not a fast team. He could do some damage.
What are your thoughts?
FWIW my team:
Lindenmuth, Geiger, Davis
Naqali, Damn
Ryan, Ma'afu, Daniel
RdH, Carty
Lopeti, Besag
Esdale, Fricker, McLean
MSF, Telea-Ilalio, Tonga, Helu, McVeigh, Hilsenbeck, O'Keefe
