I think Batchelor has to start. Given he joined at a similar time as Bentley he needs a chance to show if he is worth persisting with.
I agree with a few people that it would be good to see Kevin or Tommy at fullback. If for nothing else so we know one can fill in if Coote gets injured in a big game. Welsby does seem to get caught out under the high ball.
Dodd and Fages had a lot of practice in pre season as a combination so you suspect that is what they will go for.
I would like to see Nisbet and Foster get games. Nisbet is behind Grace and Makinson so his chances are likely to be few and far between. Foster is our only promising untested backrower which given the age of our pack if he can step up in the next couple of years that would be a huge bonus.
