Game time. As was reported last week after the Ospreys game, getting the players out on the pitch is more important than their position.
As it was, according to the commentary Ben White played the whole 2nd half at outside centre... (But looked suspiciously like Jack Roberts!)

White played the half on the wing pretty much
He did (he came on after the 60 min half time) but the commentators said his name every time Roberts had the ball. They'd announced BW as no 23 before the match, but JR was wearing that number!
Good to see Worth getting decent game time too. Genge looked as robust as usual ball in hand.

Neither was I apart from noticing that Ben White hasn't gained about 3 stone in pre-season (and their amusing Italian pronunciations of a few names - how bad must we sound to them)!
Worth had a mix game so good hits, dropped the ball the odd time though made a great pass to Hamilton for the last try (I think).
Good run and good pass. We can forgive his his early knock on and lost high ball I think!
If the Italian Commentary team were having a bad time with the names, I, being a sad old *** can remember how Tudor Thomas used to really struggle with any non-uk names, to our great amusement!!
