Thanks u/rewindthegamer for line-up

Last game of the Pre-Season. Will Colo feature and if he does, will he have the armband ? Update: He does not feature, even in from the bench. Players being told to play the ball out from the back, how effective will we be in that with only our two fullbacks comfortable on the ball in that back four ?
