Clearly this week is rolling the dice on the Brumbies. From a bench perspective, I think Bosch, Mapimpi could get points against the Hurricanes, and I expect the Sharks to put a lot of pressure on and Hurricanes to play their usual counter attack rugby. Picking the right hurricane is a challenge, so I’d keep them on the bench – Lam, Laumape, Goosen, Jordie, TJ. Akira Ioane is a coin flip with DDP this week, I’ve just been let down by Akira too many times this year.
