For me, Fonua has to play without question. For all his errors of late he is a potential match winner. If we had to leave out everyone who has seen up and down form recently we'd struggle to field a nines team never mind a seventeen man squad.

Fonua/Griffin/Tuimavave/Talanoa is how I'd go and how I expect Radford will go too.

Agreed.

Normally i'd say he's out of form and should be dropped, but Michaels was poor last night too and I think we have to go for Fonua's power and match winning ability rather than Michaels all-round game.

Still think we would be better using Connor at right centre with Griffin off the bench.
If as i expect we use Connor off the bench then there is no impact but Griffin can come on and be used either in the backs or second row.
His best performances were off the bench when he had something to prove.

Yeah, we know mate, you say it on every loving thread.
