I know they were sloppy and boring in Houston but it’s gotta be the same lineup. Those are unquestionably the best 11 dudes on the roster right now. They need match fitness and form and you only get that from matches. A home opener should give them a boost to build off of as well.
I’d probably make Afrifa/Alenis and Agada 60 – 75 minute subs on the regular though. Get Pulido and JFR used to the idea of having shorter shifts to do their damage.
Agreed. I don’t predict any changes to the starting lineup, but I do hope that Vermes continues to use all of his subs and gives them 20-30 minutes each. Start a new trend, Peter!
