I wonder how experimental that side is?

Selections like Bell Porecki, Johnson-Holmes and Foketi, Perese makes me think that they're naming a first choice 15 since known quantities like this are usually the first guys rested, but then we see other selections such as Slack-Smith getting the nod over Gamble, Wilson starting and Gordon not even on the bench and no outside backs of note other than good prospects

Looks a bit 50/50 for mine.

Got the engine room approximately "1st pick" but wanting to test drive the new buys (Slack-Smith etc)

Every chance Gordon is carrying, he seems to be sponsored by Leukoplast...

Wilson looks like a damn fine "next gen" though on his Under 20 showings.
