True, but I would still prefer to see Dowling play, even at Howlett's expense. This is the type of game he excels in.

Our Scrum is going to be embarrassingly bad against the mighty Perpignan front row, even with du Preez. Our pack will front up well in front of a home crowd, but it is going to be an attritional game so we will need to kick our goals. Please let it be the man wearing 15 kicking them!
