Physically, Hoppa is bigger than Farrar and is much better under the high ball. With the possibility of both Lyon and Matai being out again, we need a spark.
As I said, Farrar tries really hard but #6 might be his best position and I believe Hoppa's is Fullback. Foran can cover #7, #6 and centre about equally and he did a good job on Champion who's been in good form.

Â Sometimes Des's substitute rotation leaves me wondering. Â Why would you have your goal kicker on the bench. Â Did he know we wouldn't have been given a penalty within kicking range or score a try?

For mine the most mportant thing is getting the captaincy right, we need someone to lead out there and need an 80 minute player to do it.
So therefore, name Ballin in captain, and it will certainly improve our result.
It isnt the fact Lyon is Lyon it is that he is also a good captain, King and Stewart are not. If we lack a captain we lack leadership and no-one gels.

DSM5 link said:Jethro Matai was a passenger for the second half. Souffs attacked his edge and the current opinion is that they scored because he was on the field. We did have Rodney off the field, so my comment was regarding the defensive problems down Matai's side. The kicking issue was an add on. I further think that Des has a problem with rotation.Â
