Pingvin har gjort fyra ändringar jämfört med laget mot Lugi. Två i klungan, pelaren André Eriksson och lock Patrick Månsson. Båda har startat en match under säsongen och utgör kanske inte påtagliga förstärkningar. Två unga svenska yttrar har också petats bort och ersatts av Erik Arvidsson och Giorgi Bebiashvili. Arvidsson har vi inte sett på ett par säsonger men var tidigare landslagsman medan Bebiashvili är en liten men svårfangad löpare. Båda två utgör nog förstärkningar. Mamulashvili och Gabroshvili kvarstår som centrar och det är därifr4n anfallshoten kommer. Ett klart bättre Pingvinlag än förra veckan vill jag påstå, även om bänken är relativt tunn. 4 Georgier startar, två på bänken.
Exiles have got back a few who were sick or unavailable last week but have made other changes as well. The line-up is:
Mark Beveridge
Levan Khizanishvili
Abselom Sarjveladze
Carl Lindblom
Bertti Bast
Erik Sandberg
Theodor Karlsson
Sean Burke
Matt Mitchell
Ushangi Mchedishvili
David Hill
Alex Walsh
Michal Jurczynski
Michael Davis
Ian Gowland
Mak Jelec Dozo
Anthony Rafael
Emil Rådquist
Curtis Pollard
Denis Melander
Olle Holmberg
Nika Kurtsidadze
Exiles are considerably stronger than last week, especially in the forwards and hopefully the message has got through to everyone that they must win this game for the dream of ten titles in a row to remain a possibility. The pack is enormous with several good jumpers and scrumagers and they should create problems for the Pingvin pack. In the backs Matt Mitchell finally returns for a full game along with the strong-running Polish centre Michal Jurczynski. The backs are quite evenly matched, but Exiles seem to have the edge up front as well as a stronger bench. Exiles field three Georgians with another on the bench.
Pingvin and Exiles have had tough battles in the past and this will be no exception. May the best team win!
No streaming unfortunately which will leave a lot of supporters disappointed but neither Pingvin nor Exiles seem very good at these technical matters.
A few words about the other Exiles´ teams on show today. Göteborg have pulled out all the stops to get their best team together in Stockholm och Exiles will have to be at their best to come out on top.
Exiles B will like the first team be fielding 23 players for their 3rd place game in Div. 1 against Uppsala. Close matches always played in a good spirit.
