I would not mess about with Topou keep him and Johnstone as the World class combo. Kershaw not done anything wrong he would go on the other wing for me. Hampshire at hooker little darting runs. Thats his position for me, Jowett even looked better at half back against Hudds than Hampshire does in the halves.
Are you ditching Atkins or Lyne to accommodate Kershaw and which of the Wood's are you dropping to fit Hampshire in at Hooker.
I think we will go with Miller and Brough in the halves and Hampshire at FB and play with either Lyne or Atkins on the opposite wing to Johnstone.
Atkins may not be the quickest but, he's strong as hell, excellent under the high ball (in both defence and attack) and has to play and Lyne has been one of our most consistent players over the past 3/4 seasons.
I like Kershaw and he will be a decent player but, he's not yet a better option than Johnstone, Toupu, Lyne or Atkins. he looked to be trying too hard last Wednesday, which is understandable as he is desperate to play.
