I wish I understood what's going on in respect of George Oliver - but I'm afraid I don't.
And it'll be very nice to see Courtney Roberts again.
You have to assume that Scott believes this is the side most capable of beating Richmond, but I'm struggling to see it.

I reckon a 24 man back-row of that quality should mop up.COME ON COV.

How's the pitch looking?, my back garden is rock solid. Hopefully it will stay dry for a good running game with ball in hand.
