Preseason match 1 - Jersey - Friday 19th August 2022 - 5pm

I’d think the last thing SB would want to do is tip his hand at this stage if the year. So, tactics and combinations may mean nothing as an indication of future intent

Excellent point more about getting minutes in the legs. More of a step up expected v Falcons next week

Both very true! SB tried a lot out at the beginning of last year, as far as I remember...

Interesting to see when they're both on that they played this way round. May suggest who is more likely to play where more going forward

IMHO this is because Shelley has more pace and appears to tackle well, and I think Muri will be used as Nadolo's replacement, at least playing his role...

Certainly him and Saumaki are the closest we have to Nadolo

I think Borthwick would prefer a tactical kicking option at 15 which is probably Kini's one weak area. At winger he might be given more freedom to roam and Murimurivalu is a real menace picking and going or popping up on the shoulder of the 9.

Cheeky to ask I know, but is anyone who watched the game able to give a bit of a overview on how each player looked?

Sounded like it was a bit rusty overall but lots of guys stuck their hands up!

Bumping this message, would love any insight.
