I imagine that Rapana is in the centres to ease him into training as he’s had a long flight. A lot less ground to cover and he probably won’t know plays yet

I imagine they’ll see him as a potential centre if needed (I think him at centre is my preference)

Moy at FB and Rapana at Centre

We used to use Fonua at centre and wing and we need a better centre who knows their way to the line

Rapana would be better at centre I am sure whilst JC seems to like Moy

If that’s the case I could easily see Rapana at Centre and Moy FB

Moy has to bulk up - Shaul couldn’t defend at FB because he was too underweight

But with injuries I’m sure we will see a back line mixed up half the time

If we're planning on playing Rapana at centre it makes absolutely zero sense releasing Walker. Moy isn't ready for a full season at full back, I'm pretty sure Rapana will be our full back this season.

It was his 1st training session, he will be the full back

Rapana was signed to be the first choice FB which Myler has confirmed in a couple of interviews.
I imagine JC & Coaching staff were just easing Rapana in to training as its was his first session, just travelled half way around the world plus the rest of the squad are 3 weeks ahead of him.

He's regularly injured. Probably partly due to not looking after himself his who career. I think he's only ever managed to last one full season

If that's the case, time to see if Cust was worth the quota spot...

Maybe wait until the club announces anything regarding Abdul being injured? Nothing confirmed and even so, still nearly 2 months until first run out
