I prefer a different approach. (as is evident)
I like to use 2 starting props that will work hard but then i like to bring on my 2 impact props, my impact 2nd row and my impact 9 all at the same time for the last 20 and blow the other team out of the water. A bench of Lauaki, Moa, Houghton and Manu is capable of doing that easily.

If that's your preferred way of playing then that bench is perfect for it.

Catalans have a big pack would you be tempted to have Moa, Lauaki and another prop on the bench alongside Houghton?

Only if Lauaki needed to play in the back row. I wouldnt carry 3 interchange props. With Cats size i would just adopt a game plan thats a little bit more expansive to tire them out. (opposite to Peter Sharps tactics of running straight at them for 75 mins to tire them out)

Veron guess weve found the footballing equivalent of Thorman
