  • I think only the last bench spot is up for grabs right now and it is between Tuivita, Tuilagi, Doorey & Guymer. I think the ability to play both middle and edge will be a factor in this considering the other bench players (Walker, Smith and Moretti) cannot play edge. The spot really should be Matto if his head was not so far up his ass.
