Kite was only there because of injuries to those ahead of him in the pecking order. His form hasn't been anywhere near SOO standard and Blind Freddy could see that he was going to get the flick. Good luck to Beaver for retaining his spot.
Glad Gower got the call up, but not sure how the Gasnier at 5/8 experiment will go. Could backfire badly on us, but really there were no other options. Hill is past it, Anasta had his chances and there was precious little else to choose from (Campbell, Dykes, K Gidley, Morris). At least with Hornby on the bench they can shuffle around Gower and him if things go pear shaped for Gaz.
