Northmore at 12, Joseph at 13 and Beard in the 23 shirt covering wing and centre.

Part of that is a case of getting our best players on the pitch but I also think there's some merit to it.

Northmore isn't a 12. However, we haven't signed a direct replacement for Esterhuizen and (at least right now), Luke is probably the best option to fill in. With a run of games to bed in to the shirt, I think it could actually work. Kerr might well be fast tracked and we also have Anyanwu (who I don't really rate) and Bryn Bradley (ex Wales U20).

David starts on one of the wings for me and would have done so regardless of Murley's injury.
