I do look at our team with interest.
I would play McGovern on Martin if he goes forward: McGovern has him well beaten in the air and doesn't lack strength. He's also quick in a straight line (probably not otherwise).
I am worried about the ruck duels. I hope Pittonet is the injury player, as we could do with him, even if he isn't as fit as he could be yet.
I thought the same re Gov/Dusty, but I think his extra hieght (although not huge) might be a disadvantage v Dusty. We'll see I guess. The game will be won and lost in the coaches box me thinks.
