I expect Byrne and Walters will come in to the 17 from last week, so Cooper is one who is missing out and then we'd need one other. If they can get enough minutes in to Walters in the next couple of weeks and they feel he's capable of 80 minutes, I think it'll be Nsemba who misses out come the semi but for Friday, I wouldn't be surprised if it were Mago or Dupree. Either could count themselves unlucky but then neither have been rested as far as I remember. I'd say with Dupree having a week off with his ban, it would make Mago favourite and that would leave us looking something like-
Field
Miski Keighran Wardle Marshall
French Smith
Byrne O'Neill Thompson
Nsemba Farrell Ellis
Subs
Dupree Havard Walters Leeming
If everyone makes it through to the Cup semi, I think Walters will end up in the second row and Mago/Cooper will come on to the bench, with Nsemba missing out.
I agree with your 17. Hill has been a little unlucky but hopefully he will realise that his time will come.
Hopefully we get the right reaction from last week’s defeat.
