Wintle, Collins and Etete out. A quicker front 3 with a focus on pressing and keeping the ball on the floor.

Esbrand is awful, he has noawareness at all or ability to defend and is just as poor going forward. I would be amazed if we ever see him at fullback.

I'd rather Niels Nkounkou back

His early showing haven't been great but he only played 198 minutes for us in games where everyone has been poor. But Collins has been so slow and ponderous lately I'd welcome any reasonable replacement there (Ralls, Romeo even) .

I wasn't far off - Etete instead of Tanner. This has a more positive feel about it.
