Agree with that team apart from Tag who has copped a ban.
I'd probably start with Fash at prop and have Gardiner on the bench.

can't believe I forgot about that

I'd swap Taylor for Gardiner on the bench and either start with Fash or Brown so we still have some size coming off the bench with Satae who should be able to make some good metres off the bench.

I'd start Fash, definitely keep Cam Scott in over McIntosh and start Brown, who should be able to play big minutes, alongside Sao, who we all know is durable. If Hoy is fit, that looks enough to me to win this one; bring on Satae and Dwyer to exploit any fatigue and use Laidlaw , albeit sparingly.
I do think the result on Sunday will be a good indication of where we are at. Previously, this sort of game would see us lose, with a complacent and not at it attitude, but I think if we do win this, we can definitely say, with fragile confidence, that we have indeed turned a corner.

Just cant get excited for the cup these days, would have liked this to be a league game.

That said a win at all costs just to keep momentum going. Weve lost that much over the past few seasons I cant recall this group ever putting 4 wins on the bounce.

Speak for yourself! Bloody love the cup. Can’t beat knock out rugby.

Lasty will be looking for a massive scalp to put a mark on his tenure, however it seems his players have thrown the towel in already. If we play like we have the last three games we should be winning, and as already said, four wins on the bounce will show we’ve turned a corner.
