Not really sure what other option he has in relation to the props with the amount of injuries in that area.
Agree about Andrew. Payne should be at 15 with Cave starting at 13. I can't help but think there has been some IRFU interference in that area with wanting to see Payne at 13 more.
Macklin ahead of Warwick would have been the really obvious call.
For the IRFU to intervene in a game of this size would be shameful and I would expect their involvement to be leak onto the net somewhere. Mindyou, only just woken up, so maybe it has...
I'm not confident - but still wish I was going to be there.
