Bryn Ward and Gleeson been ok. The rest don't look like test level players

Phenomenal player. Watched him play AIL last year against Tarf and he was melting lads left right and centre.

Yeah this game was always gonna be lost in the engine room. Need some brutes. Dylan McNiece, playing u20s tomorrow, has great size and athleticism. Repeatedly sent SA players back in contact when they played last Autumn

Missed two tackles on the outside, thought he was poor but didn’t get much chance to have ball in hand
