Brookes will get plenty of gametime going by JCW's injury record. I can't see Dai relying heavily on Stuart yet anyway. #messiah.

Starting him ahead of Brookes is a pretty big move. Wuss always have a good scrum.

Indeed Raggs. I'm assuming that Dai wanted to see how he'd cope in a reasonably safe game whilst keeping Brookes ready to start next week in a much tougher game. I have no facts to back this up other than it's a long season.

I doubt Dai thought Wuss was a safe game. We've not beaten them convincingly in an away game for some time.

When it comes to props, Dai knows what he's about. Great to hear Stuart went well, but having Brookes solidity in the scrum is going to be an important asset too

Full match replay is now up.

If anyone can see anything different, but all i can see that could be the Du Preez injury is him running back a kick, getting tackled low by Robson, then Launch losing his footing going over, getting cleared out, and the Wuss player losing his footing, looks like the wuss forearm is in CDPs throat at that point. Don't see Du Preez again.
