One question: who is Jack Debreczeni and why is he starting at fullback ahead of Woodward? Woodward has been one of the Rebels best all season, apart from last week when he was shifted to the wing. I can understand the Rebels are keen to give Debreczeni a chance (as unlike Woodward he will still be around next season), but surely they should be concentrating on finishing this season strongly rather than worrying about next year? I would have though Veainu deserves a start too - he is a quality player, but I don't think he has received the chances he deserves at this level yet....
