I think with two locks well less than 2.0 m, Finau's height as a genuine lineout option probably made the difference with getting the No 6 slot.  Maybe also because Blackadder is very underdone after all his injury problems.  That fact he didn't make the bench indicates the match fitness factor was possibly decisive.  

Not 100% happy with Perofeta at fullback.  We seem to have this addiction to hybrid 10/15 players.  Although I guess he's a placeholder for Jordan when he's fit.  Also, not a huge fan or Perenara, but he's definitely earned it.  I'd maybe have gone for Christie.  But again, maybe they're placeholders for Roigard.

Other than that, really excited to be underway with the Razor era.  It's a pretty tough way to start the season though and a very tough season overall.  Playing Boks, Ireland, France and England all away will be a serious challenge.
