I see a late switch with him starting the match.

I’m sure he knows he’s got 2 weeks to prove he’s the next cab off the rank for any injuries to our edges. If he nails this then we’re set for the back row for the year (barring injuries to 2/3 players).

I'd switch them too. More so because I love the impact Jack brings off the bench. If Burns goes **** you can always move Jack there at some stage.

Hasn't even played a game and is already a meme

But if he makes whipping boy status he will be immortalised for ever

Burns shouldn't feel bad, this time next year this forum will find something to bring AFB down a few rungs.

I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes for us this weekend but at this stage I wouldn't be too worried if another 2nd rower is out. Don't forget we've got Talakai to come in then just have Iro or Hiroti to fill in at centres. 2nd rowers we've got Nikora, Wiilton, Burns, Williams & Talakai if Colquhoun is still out aswell, otherwise we'll have 6 if all including Colquhoun are fit. Props we'll have Kaufusi, Hazelton, Rudolf, Uele, Taku, Hunt, even Finucane & Colquhoun/Bradbury still to come in. We've got plenty of depth in our forward line this season.

After that, somebody get Fitz some boots.

Also had O’Kane and Gibbons on T&T on the pre-season. Wonder where they ended up.

Outside of maybe Nicho (and that's just a maybe as I've seen Trindall step up before), there's not really any players being out that feels massively damaging. We have very capable backups, to cover for a few games at least

I reckon either half is kinda critical for us atm, obviously more so Nicho.
